number_column width

[Stargrove]

In an XML file for a form I see:

	<label_column name="label_mass">
		<static textres="ref_label_mass" />
	</label_column>

	<number_column name="mass">
		<readonly />
	</number_column>

This shows up on a form with a label (name defined elsewhere) and a field to enter a number. What if I want the number field to be wider or how is its width even defined to begin with?

Not sure I understand the question.
If this helps, a table in a story has the following XML to define it's width. Note that it is a weight and not a number of pixels or window percentage.
<encounter>
<id-00001>
<name type="string">Story Table</name>
<text type="formattedtext">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Column 1</td>
<td colspan="2">Double Wide</td>
</tr>
</table>
</text>
</id-00001>
</encounter>

I'm sorry. I am toying around with a form in a ruleset. I think I found my answer, but it took some digging through the files to find the right place to make the change so I cold set the size of the field.

This is the XML where the label and field are defined on a form for equipment:

	<label_column name="mass_label">
		<static textres="item_label_mass" />
	</label_column>
	<number_columnh name="mass" />

and I wanted to make the mass field wider to accommodate larger numbers.

I changed the XML to this:

	<label_column name="mass_label">
		<static textres="item_label_mass" />
	</label_column>
	<number_columnh name="mass" />
		<anchored>
			<size>
				<width>80</width>
			</size>
		</anchored>
		<readonly />
	</number_columnh>

and was able to get the results I was interested in achieving. I am not sure this is the best way to do this or not.

I have attached before and after of what I was trying to do.

Just pushed a new version of MGT2 ruleset to beta Test channel with Mass field width increased by 50% (40->60).

Dominic was going to specifically look into this, but thanks. I was just exploring to attempt to understand how things happen in the ruleset.
