|
startrow |
The first row in the range of rows for which you want to set the height |
|
endrow |
The last row in the range of rows for which you want to set the height |
|
height |
The height of the detail area for the specified rows in the units specified for the DataWindow object |
Return value

If any argument's value is null, in PowerBuilder and JavaScript the method returns null.
Usage
Call SetDetailHeight in a script to vary the amount of space assigned to rows in a DataWindow control or DataStore. You cannot specifically set the height for different rows when you define a DataWindow object in the DataWindow painter, although you can turn on the Autosize Height property for the detail band so that the height of each row is determined by the data.
You can set the detail height of one or more rows to zero, which hides them from view.
When the Autosize Height property of the detail band is turned on, SetDetailHeight has no effect (it returns -1).
Examples
This statement sets the height of rows 2 and 3 to 500:
dw_1.SetDetailHeight(2, 3, 500)
This script retrieves rows for a DropDownDataWindow associated with the Company_Name column. It then hides rows 2 and 3 of the DropDownDataWindow by setting their detail height to 0:
DataWindowChild dwc;
integer rtncode;
rtncode = dw_1.GetChild("company_name", dwc)
IF rtncode < 0 THEN HALT
dwc.SetTransObject(SQLCA)
dwc.Retrieve( )
dwc.SetDetailHeight(2, 3, 0)
