Hi, I see a DataGridPercentageLayout bead, which you did not mention, so you probably need that to go with DataGridPercentageView. If that doesn’t work, let us know, however, I’ve got a lot of other issues in my queue before I can take a serious look at this.
However, one thing to keep in mind about Basic and Express is that they emphasize the Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) philosophy, which is quite different from Flex which was more of a one-size-fits-all philosophy. Your situation is a good example of the difference PAYG creates between Flex and Royale. In Flex (and in fact, in the MXRoyale DataGrid) the DataGridColumn has a width property that could take percentage or an actual number. This requires code to check if the DataGridColumn is using percentage or actual number. This extra checking occurred in many places in Flex in order to have one DataGrid that could do anything and other optional features of other components (one-size-fits-all). This made it easier to get started in Flex because you could just add a DataGrid and configure it to your needs, but all of that extra checking needed to be downloaded and run, and it was very rare for someone to want to switch a DataGridColumn from percentage to actual number at runtime. So, in Royale Basic, you choose the beads at compile time that dictate if the DataGrid is going to use percentages for columns or not. There is a default (actual numbers) but you can get percentages if you need it. But not only do you need to use a DataGridPercentageView, but you also need to use the DataGridPercentageLayout. So this is more configuration up front, but in the end, if you only have one DataGrid and it is using percentages, then you will be downloading and running the least amount of code by not carrying around the checks for whether you are using percentages or actual numbers and the code that does layout with actual numbers. Meanwhile, the Express package pre-packages more beads. Someone could create a set of beads and an Express DataGridColumn that supports your suggestion of having a width property that supports either percentage or actual numbers and add the right Basic beads for that DataGrid. Or maybe we need a DataGridPercentageWidthColumn. Or create a set of heavier beads that combines the current actual and percentage beads for DataGrid. But the Basic DataGridColumn would not have a width property that can handle either percentage or actual numbers. That kind of thing would go in Express, Jewel, and or other not-so-basic libraries.

Tried basic and express one, the basic is the one wich seem working except that we can only use fixed column width. (because DataGridColumn's columnWidth accept only strict number and there is no width property available) There is an issue with bead named DataGridPercentageView because % width is overwritten on layoutNeeded event by DataGridLayout If we look at DataGridColumn class It seems to me that the property columnWidth (accept only strict number like 50, not '50%' ) should be renamed by width that would accept number with % or without and that DataGridLayout should handle this. Moreover DataGridPercentageView bead would be useless and we could delete this bead. Could I have your opinions ? thanks Regards -- Frédéric Gilli mob.0668542622 http://www.cristallium.com<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cristallium.com&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7Cdd767a1f18c945c0e45a08d75613b89c%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C1%7C637072515016988402&sdata=WucnNlD07kgtipABJpZGDeWyRLAQvmwV9VzZf3bcxqI%3D&reserved=0> [cid:[email protected]]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cristallium.com&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7Cdd767a1f18c945c0e45a08d75613b89c%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C1%7C637072515016988402&sdata=WucnNlD07kgtipABJpZGDeWyRLAQvmwV9VzZf3bcxqI%3D&reserved=0>
