CellList inside a panel of 100% height

[Magnus]

Hi,

consider the CellList example in GWT showcase:

http://samples.gwtproject.org/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwCellList

The CellList in this example has a fixed height of 400 px.

If you change it to 100%, the scrollbars are gone!

(You can verify this right in the showcase example.).

However, I would like it to fill the whole height.

What can I do?

Thanks

Magnus

table.setHeight(String.valueOf(Window.getClientHeight() - (the amount of px you want to leave from top)) + Unit.PX);

Thanks,

Thank you very much! This works!

I don't know why, but I the parent's height is too much, so that I have to substract 10 pixels to make it fit.

The panel is located in an UIBinder with a HTMLPanel as root. So I used getParent().getOffsetHeight().

Any ideas why this is not exactly the client height?

And why does the panel with the CellList have to be fixed-sized?

Thanks

Magnus

I guess the height here is set to enable scrolling if data exceeds the given pixels.

Thanks,

clientHeight includes padding

offsetHeight includes padding, borders and scrollbars

 

And why does the panel with the CellList have to be fixed-sized?

You can also use 100% on the ScrollPanel if any parent is limited in size.

Ok, but even getElement().getClientHeight is a few pixels too large:

It's ok for me to substract some pixels, but I wonder why getClientHeight does not return the exact value...

What's limited size? All parents are resizable by the user, but at any point in time the parent's client size is limited...

For example, if I use a table with 100% height, it works... but not with the CellList...
