[Gambas-user] setting columnview column sizes

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Benoit should be able to tell you where to look at - at least he knows 
best the underlying code for the Grid and Tableview. But he needs to 
know the facts about your system, too.

I have been using both options, user-input and separate dialog. It 
depends on usability:

- There is an account app here where I took the dialog way because it is 
clearer to see that you fill in a certain payment (a table row) and book 
it (OK button).

- There is another thing that enables me to write marks for the students 
for a test - here it is much more logical to make every cell writable as 
you jump from cell to cell.

- The same applies for the classbook application where teachers have to 
write what was going on in the class: I tried it with a dialog, but they 
wanted a dynamic table with single cells because they were used to such 
things from Windows and they liked to click the cells like they had been 
writing into the paper classbooks :-)

Regards

Rolf
