MaximumWidth FlexGrid vs LayoutGrid / crash

[sieweb]

Like in a LayoutGrid I tried to set MaximumWidth in the FlexGrid to a negativ value (-1200) to display the border correctly.
But after local publishing WWB is crashing - and the border remains spanned.

I could be wrong on this but entering a negative number does not work for flexgrid. I believe this is only for layout grid to be backwards compatible for previous versions (see the help). You simply need to enter 1200. The style tab is for the entire flexgrid. You will need to select the grids, click style down at the bottom and add custom borders to the grids themselves.

crispy68 is correct, you cannot use a negative number for a flexgrid. This will result in invalid HTML code.
This 'hack' is only for the layout grid to remain backwards compatible.

[sieweb]

That is what I supposed.
But

You will need to select the grids, click style down at the bottom and add custom borders to the grids themselves.

The result is not the same:
https://b4flatline.de/test01/songs.html
the second song done with LayoutGrid (Von Bienen und Blumen) shows the border I would like to have.
The first song (b4flatline) show the Flex grid. The red border ist the complete grid and the green like you suggested.
I would like to separate the songs each from another.

p.s.: the FlexGrid is not yet adapted to mobile

So to just clarify, you are wanting the border to go around the text and video as 1 border rather than separate borders around each correct?

Pablo, can you put a check in for this (in a future version) so that it comes up with an error message rather than crashing?

cheers

For me, it does not crash, it just fails (as expected).
Does it crash for you? If so, then what are the exact settings?

[crispy68]

It didnt crash for me either however in the workspace it was wonky looking by putting the interior contents of the flexgrid off to the right side of the workspace outside of the flexgrid itself.

Hi Pablo,
with a new project with just a FlexGrid there is no crash, but with mine I am working on:



set the max width to -1200 hit OK hit F5

[Pablo]

For me, it does not crash.
But I will investigate if the minus can be removed automatically.

I was just going off the original post. Sorry. But the principle stands. If it's not allowed, can you put up a message saying so?

Yes, whatever the FlexGrid is containg just one border round the complete Grid within the max width.

[crispy68]

Is this essentially what you are wanting?

DEMO

Hi, yes. looks like. You can see it for all the other songs.
...
At my first look at my mobile I read:
'Is this essential ... ' and I started at once to think about what is essential for me

Custom border, now I've got it - thank you so much.
I will change the style from the other LayoutGrids to custom borders too so that they look exactly the same.
