GWT data grid isn't presented

Question

I'm trying to switch from CellTable to DataGrid. The actual change was very easy (APIs are the quite the same) - but I cannot get the grid to be visible without setting explicitly its width and height. In the CellTable it was enough to set width and height to 100% - and that is the behavior I want. In my view I have two sections in HotrizontalPanel: one shows some tabs (buttons) and the other shows the grid. Each time a tab is clicked, the grid area is cleared and a new grid is created. The view looks like this: ``` .expanded { width: 100%; height: 100%; } .simpleContainer { border-top: 5px solid #484848; border-bottom: 5px solid #484848; } ``` And this is the snap of HTML from the running application: ```

Accepted Answer

Yes, `CellTable` did work with 100% height and width. However the ''DataGrid'' doesn't. You need to set an explicit width/height. Alternatively you can put your ''DataGrid'' in a ''LayoutPanel'' that implements the ProvidesResize interface (i.e. SimpleLayoutPanel). The benefit of using a LayoutPanel is that the Datagrid is automatically resized when you resize your browser window.
