you could simulate this (I do not recommend) by creating your own gengrid item class and style. This style would define multiple Edje parts, the cells for those columns. These have fixed size (ie: 200px), or proportional size (ie: 20%) or even be dynamically calculated and expand horizontally based on some factor (the largest label?). In the last case you'd have to go and call item.update() for every item, so they can expand to the new maximum size. What I do recommend is you to look at every modern GUI and none of those use these anymore. It's usually used for large number of items, where the number of information can be overwhelming. You better segment the information and plan what to show. For instance, the package manager you sent should do what it delegate to user... come on, show the "installed version" and "available version"? Why not just an icon with tri-state: installed and updated, installed and outdated, uninstalled. Could even not be an icon, but a bg color to make it easy to spot. If I were doing a package manager, I'd as well merge similar packages with different parts, as it's useless to have them in the main list, just click to open more details (instead of show -dev, -dbg, -examples, -doc... you just show package name, click and it expand (or another window/popup/frame) show each element and status. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
