Re: Need a way to get width of each column in a Grid

Never mind guys. Figured it out. Just in case there are any searches:

public CellFormatter cellFormatter = new CellFormatter();
public Element cellElement;

and then I made 2 methods that I found very useful within my class
that extends Grid:

public int getColumnWidth(int column) {
cellElement = cellFormatter.getElement(0, column);
return cellElement.getClientWidth();
}

public int getColumnOffset(int column) {
cellElement = cellFormatter.getElement(0, column);
return cellElement.getOffsetLeft();
}

in the getElement function you can specify a row also, but I chose to
use 0 because all my columns in a given row have the same width. Be
wary though, I've noticed it rounds. I used a similar method to get
the total width for the table, and then I subtracted all the column
widths while the borders were set to 0, and the result I got was -3.
So there is slight rounding going on, which is why I found the
getOffsetLeft method of Element so useful since its more accurate for
me to get exactly where something is placed.

Best of luck!
