Subject: tabStop property

(Apologies if this got sent twice)

I was trying to create a resizable table object (i.e. 6 equal text columns with a scrollbar on the right side) and eventually succeeded. However...there must be an easier way to do this! Basically I want to resize the table "field" and spread the column widths out proportionately. I managed to do it using "brute force" by creating individual fields for each column and setting the scrollBar (borrowed from the examples stack) and setting the "resize" properties.

The whole exercise would have been much easier if the tabStops property would accept a variable; then you could just create one field and put in the card script "on resizeStack /put the width of this cd into tBlob/ divide tBlob by 6/ set the tabStop of fld to tBlob". Apparently, the tabStop property only accepts integers..is there any way of doing this?

Also, I recently installed MC2.3.2 on a Win98se P3 800mHz. All of the tabbed dialogs appear with a white diagonal line through the tab. Just an annoyance but...is this my display driver (new) or has anyone else got this artifact?

Thanks,
Blair
