Hello,

I've got my first real Dabo application into a state where I can begin to 
worry about cosmetic questions. I've got a dPageFrame with two pages, one for 
a data grid showing several records, one with controls for one single record.

Several fields in the database keep their default values for most cases, so I 
use two panels: the first contains controls for all the fields that must 
always be filled in, then a row of buttons. The second panel contains 
controls for the fields that are rarely changed from their default values. 

The first of the buttons is a dToggleButton which shows or hides the second 
panel.

Each of the panels contains a dGridSizer and all labels, entry fields and 
buttons on the panel go into cells of this sizer.

All working quite well, and now the cosmetic problem: I'd like to have equal 
column widths for both grid sizers, and if at all possible I'd prefer not to 
calculate and set them explicitly. In the first sizer the column width is 
determined by the buttons, and that width would fit the columns of the second 
sizer quite well. On the other hand I don't want to lose the ability to show 
or hide all those controls with a single click (and with a very short event 
handler). Perhaps I should add that all the rarely used controls are for one 
and the same rare use case (paying bills in another currency than EUR), it's 
not simply a collection of diverse rare conditions.

Thanks for hints,
Sibylle
