How to show complete cell content that is too long?

[chanwj]

If the cell content is too long that the text width is larger than the column width(which is fixed), it will automatically hide the oversized part now, but it is not friendly for users to read.

So I wonder if there is possibility to solve this problem, like the two ways below:

1. The oversized content wrap and cell height resize to fit the content automatically.
2. Show tooltips to show complete content when mouse hover it. (Maybe show "..." at the end of the content at the same time to remind users that there is something being hidden?)

I've already read the documentation and I didn't find the answer (I'm sorry if I missed).

Hello,

You're correct that there is nothing in the docs about this sorry and you're correct about the current behavior.

Thank you for your ideas, I am not yet sure the best way to handle this, or if I even will implement something that addresses such shortcomings. I will have to get back to you after I have given it some thought sorry.

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply!

I also want to ask about this: After configuring auto_resize_columns, there is always extra spacing shows behind the last column. Is there any way to make the last column fit the widget's right border perfectly?

I think the parameter you're after is: empty_horizontal which can be set at initialization or using Sheet.set_options()

e.g.

... = Sheet(parent, empty_horizontal=0)

# or

my_sheet.set_options(empty_horizontal=0)

Thanks! empty_horizontal works.
