Percentages are easy to implement, but hard to use. Too bad if a layout system doesn't offer some better method. Imagine a table, where all the column widths (in percents) have to be recalculated whenever a column is inserted or removed. Who should do that calculation, the user or the system? With proportional sizing one can have e.g. columns of width=1, double wide columns of width=2, and margins of width=0.1, and the layout manager will do the rest :-) DoDi _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
