Hi Folks,
I am building a little project manager here. I would like to be able to show a calendar like control so that the user could grasp the big picture of his project, like iCal and MS Project do. I am finding the field control very bad for it, the tabStops thing is horrible to design grids, I must calculate the biggest string, make arcane math to find how much pixels it will take and set the tabstops so that they do not overlap and so on...
The multi-column grid option built into the engine is designed for database-style views, not multi-line cell grids, so yes, attempting to make it work like a different type of grid will be some work.
But I believe the formattedWidth function works on chunks, no? If so, it should simplify the arithmetic for determining tabStops.

render a HTML table, but hey, my fields are not rendering the <table> tag...
Not yet, but you can vote for it: <http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1447>
So, anyone here got an advise? I am planning to make a grid like this:
* first column is a status column is a status one, it will show a image (red ball or green ball depending on the status)
* second column is a string with the project task title (yes, variable width...)
* from the third and beyond, I would like to put the days and color them depending on the context.
If these fields only display a single line you may find the built-in multi-column option to be just fine.
If you need multiple lines then creating a separate field for each cell may be the way to go.
