Hello again,=20

Feeling kind of silly, just looked more closely at MCL, and found lines=20
330-338 under the method=20
_setColumnHeadings(self, aList):

elif w =3D=3D 3 and \
isinstance(aList[0][0], StringType) and \
isinstance(aList[0][1], IntType) and \
isinstance(aList[0][2], IntType):
flag =3D 0
for i in xrange(numcols):
if aList[i][1] !=3D wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE:
flag =3D 1
self.InsertColumn(i, aList[i][0], format=3DaList[i][2], width=3DaList[i][1]=
)

So, I get the feeling that if I create my ColumnHeadings as a list of [=20
"Column name", x, y]
where x and y are both integers, then it'll come through to this=20
InsertColumn method...

But, what values are legitimate values? If x and y have to be ints, how doe=
s=20
that fit in with InsertColumn? I'm used to wx.LIST_AUTOSIZE and so forth.
Those isinstance()'s in the elif clause are a bit confusing actually....

Not overly much documentation on InsertColumn at
wxpython.org<http://wxpython.org>either. :(

Any help would be gratefully appreciated,=20
