Hi there,=20

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but just working with the multi-column=20
list.

I have the column headings stored in the resource file, but I want to chang=
e=20
how the column headings are formatted. AFAIK, in wxPython you can only set=
=20
formatting when calling wx.ListCtrl.InsertColumn, which is I believe what=
=20
MultiColumnList (MCL) does for my column headings upon instantiation.

What I was wondering was would it be possible to have a optional attribute=
=20
for that list like=20
'format': None in the resource file? Then you could add in the basic format=
s=20
(list_left) if you needed them.

I dunno, MultiColumnList is so easy to use compared to the wxPython=20
ListCtrl, so, in my pursuit of maximum effect for minimum effort, I'd rathe=
r=20
avoid wx stuff as much as possible. I'm having nightmares after trying to=
=20
figure out how to use wx.DC's effectively.=20

Alternatively, would it be possible to stick a method in MCL to effectively=
,=20
destroy the existing MCL and create it again, but with formatting?=20

I know that it would be a 95% un-needed method/attribute, so I'm asking=20
'just in case' someone's poking at MCL and feels creative.
