Adaptivecards: Stretch on FactSet

[danmarshall]

I have a scenario that I would like to use a FactSet but the layout is limited, I would like it to go edge to edge. So I am using a ColumnSet instead. But my data is essectially a FactSet.

Dan, I am not sure I understand. Could you clarify? Maybe a screenshot of what you'd like to accomplish?

[danmarshall]

Surely :)

Here is a FactSet from samples:

I'd like the second column to appear right-aligned to the edge of the container, like the Flight status:

[dclaux]

Oh, you want horizontal alignment for fact values. Seems reasonable to me.

[danmarshall]

Yes, and also that they align to the container. So I suppose there might be 3 modes:

Default: (current functionality)

Horizontal align fact values to the right:

Stretch:

Stretch will make the fact set fill the container. Used in combination with horizontal alignment to the right.

Stretch + horizontal alignment to the left would appear as the current default.

[dclaux]

FactSet already renders across the entire available width, so adding horizontal alignment support will get us the "Stretch" behavior you have above. I am not sure there is a need for the your second screenshot though.

Trying to prioritize what we Must-Have for v1, do you guys feel this is important enough to include?

[danmarshall]

Hi Matt, I think it's a nice enhancement but is not a showstopper. Feel free to lower the priority.

I'm working on something that uses facts with numbers. I would like to be able to right align all numbers similar to a receipt. This screenshot shows the issue of how things currently work.

[dclaux]

@dalekunce for now, the layout you desire can be accomplished with ColumnSet, one per row. You also have more control over font sizes/color in a ColumnSet. I do agree though that in this simple case FactSet could make it easier.

Thanks for the feedback! I've added it to the list of things being considered for 1.1

@matthidinger any update on this?

We would also appreciate an update on this one.
