How to Adjust Custom Metric Column Width

AFL Programming
#1

Continuing the discussion from Formatting Custom Metrics?
and How To - Arrange custom metric columns in Backtest Trade Report:

Is it possible to adjust the custom metric column width that is initially displayed in the backtest report? I have tried the following code but the width portion does not appear to be applied.

SetCustomBacktestProc( "" );

if ( Status( "action" ) == actionPortfolio )
{
    bo = GetBacktesterObject();
    // run default backtest procedure without generating the trade list
    bo.Backtest( True );

    // iterate through closed trades
    for ( trade = bo.GetFirstTrade( ); trade; trade = bo.GetNextTrade( ) )
    {
        trade.AddCustomMetric( StrFormat("%-30s","Custom Metric1"), StrFormat("%-30s","Hello World" ));
		trade.AddCustomMetric( StrFormat("%-30s","Custom Metric2"), StrFormat("%-30s",""));
    }

    // iterate through open positions
    for ( trade = bo.GetFirstOpenPos( ); trade; trade = bo.GetNextOpenPos( ) )
    {
        trade.AddCustomMetric( StrFormat("%-30s","Custom Metric1"), StrFormat("%-30s","Hello World" ));
        trade.AddCustomMetric( StrFormat("%-30s","Custom Metric2"), StrFormat("%-30s","Goodbye World"));
    }

    // generate trade list
    bo.ListTrades( );
}

// your trading system here
Buy = Cross( MACD(), Signal() );
Sell = Cross( Signal(), MACD() );

I searched buy I am unable to find a way to use AFL to widen the custom metric column. Perhaps @Tomasz can offer a workaround?custommetric-Capture

@Tomaz

Somehow I missed the post you added and the auto-fit feature. I searched for AFL code.

This solution will work for my needs. Thank you for thinking of everything!
