1. EuGrid Column Spacing
Is there a way to have the columns of the grid spaced 100%? For instance, I
want the first column to take up 30% of the available horizontal space and
the second column to take up the remaining 70%. I looked at doing this with
xControls, but I got stuck.

And I just throw this into the w32HChange event of the grid itself, right?

Got it working great! Even almost perfect! (It's in the w32HResize event...)
The only problem is, when the width decreases, the columns fill the space
completely. When it increases, sometimes there is a gap between the last
column and the right edge of the grid control. This is annoying but
tolerable, and certainly not expected behavior. Any clue?

I don't think so, because sometimes the error is massive... especially if I
drag the window bigger real quick. I think it's a problem with Win32Lib not
reporting the proper clientRect...
Here's my procedure, though:
procedure grid1_w32HResize (integer self, integer event, sequence
params)--params is ()
sequence gridrect
atom gridwidth, col1
col1 = 0.30
gridrect = getClientRect( grid1 )
gridwidth = gridrect[3] - gridrect[1]
-- junk = message_box( sprintf("%d",{gridwidth}) , "Grid Size" , MB_OK)
col1 = floor(col1 * gridwidth)
junk = EGW_SetColumnProperty( grid1 , grid1col1 , EGW_COL_WIDTH, col1 )
junk = EGW_SetColumnProperty( grid1 , grid1col2 , EGW_COL_WIDTH,
gridwidth - col1 )
end procedure
setHandler( grid1, w32HResize, routine_id("grid1_w32HResize"))

Is this a bug report?

Derek, I apologize, but I don't know enough to know if it's a bug report, or
if it's due to Win32Lib, to xControls, or what!!! :)
However, if you don't mind, I'd like to send you my program as it is and let
you see it for yourself...

I had a similar problem in MEditor. Guillermo Bonvehi made a
suggestion which worked well. Try adding
repaintWindow(grid1)
at the end of the w32HResize routine.

That worked... Thanks, Pete!!
Should I have to put that repaintWindow() thingie there, or shouldn't the
event handle that?

Good idea. I've added an InvalidateRect inside win32lib, after the handler
returns.

Thanks Derek, I didn't want to moan and bitch about it too much 'cos I
know all too well you have better things to do :=3D))
I hope that means it repaints just once, not twice as that sometimes
did, and won't add unnecessary overhead othercase?
