[Gambas-user] GridView_Column.Expand = True also needs AutoResize = True to work; expected behavior?

I tried reading the source code, Benoît. I had difficulty even finding the GridView class since it is not in either gb.qt4 or 
gb.qt5 as one might expect given where the GridView documentation is located on the Wiki. I had to look through 100+ of 234 
search results for "gridview" before I found that it was in gb.gui.base in the "comp" directory along with the other "enhanced" 
components. And, then, I could not find where the AutoResize and Expand properties were actually used. I apologize for being so 
ignorant.

Yes, it's clear now. Thanks.
