Something I just learned recently wrt column resizing on Windows, double-click in the column separator will resize the column to the maximum width of the data in the column, e.g. a double-click on the name column will resize the column to the longest name in the list. Apparently this has been around in Windows for a long time. Once you start using it, you'll find it damn convenient! -Brian Joe English wrote: > > Bryan Oakley wrote: > > Joe English wrote: > > > (I've looked at how other toolkits/widgets implement interactive > > > resizing, and I'm quite convinced that you *really* don't want to > > > do anything too clever here.
