I need to display a (possibly) long list of read-only data in column form, with user-resizeable columns. I first considered a table, but I would need to format and keep all the data into ready to display static strings. So instead, I chose a list, as recommended in the Palm OS Programming Guide for read-only data. Only drawbacks: the scroll arrows get drawn within the list and the list is surrounded by a frame, which doesn't invite to horizontal scrolling (if need be). So in the end, if these drawbaks cannot be circumvented (can they?), a gadget seems more appropriate, despite the added burden of handling scrolling and row selection. The code recipes I found so far (Palm Source) are pretty basic.
Suggestions and/or examples would thus make a great virtual Xmas gift ;) -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
