Anyone know how to make table headers resizable in 1.2?
Tried this:
setRowHeaderMode(0)
But it just made the header very narrow, and still not resizable.
What I''d really like is for it to be resizable and start with a
reasonable width, even if entries are empty.

IOW, I get the resize cursor between pairs of col and row headers. But not when I hover the mouse along the lines separating header from body.

But your question reminded me of that discussion. Well, that was helpful. ;) Anyways, I''ll try to check it out tonight and see what''s up. Lyle

But your question reminded me of that discussion.They may be orthogonal issues. I do want the boundaries between header cells to be adjustable. But I also want the boundary between the row (not col) header widget and the table body to be movable. I''m fussy :)

You''re still passing the visibleRows and visibleColumns arguments (the 2nd and 3rd arguments) to FXTable.new. Those two got dropped for FXRuby 1.2. Try this instead: super(inner_frame, nil, 0, TABLE_COL_SIZABLE|TABLE_ROW_SIZABLE|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y, 0,0,0,0, 2,2,2,2) Hope this helps, Lyle

In that file I was defining: class FXTable alias new_1_2_api_initialize initialize def initialize(*args, &block) dim = args.slice!(1..2) new_1_2_api_initialize(*args, &block) setTableSize(*dim) end alias numCols numColumns end So I don''t think those two zeros were the problem. But, for me at least, the standard table.rb example has the same problem (can''t change size of headers) and it uses @table = FXTable.new(frame, nil, 0, TABLE_COL_SIZABLE|TABLE_ROW_SIZABLE|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y, 0,0,0,0, 2,2,2,2) Even adding @table.setRowHeaderMode(0) doesn''t help.

Looking at the FOX source code, it appears that the mouse motion handling when you''re clicking and dragging inside an FXHeader is constrained to one axis, depending on how the header is oriented. If it''s a horizontally-oriented header (like the column header), you can only interactively resize the widths of the different header items (but not their heights). If it''s a vertically-oriented header (like the table''s row header), you can only resize the heights of the header items (but not their widths).

I guess I''m remembering the 1.0 style leading rows. Jeroen, if you''re listening, is this(*) a feature that we can expect eventually? Not that it''s critical, but in my case users enter text that is used for the headers, and I''d like for them to be able to see as much of it as they want. (*) Mouse control of the boundary between header and body of a table.
