Hello all,
This is my second attempt at sending this message. I sent it
earlier today, but a couple people reported that they received it
incompletely. I don't know why. I hope this'll work better.Anyhow, I am trying to understand how to set the size of a Wx::Grid so that it looks decent. I ran a simple test program (attached as test.pl). The relevant part is this: my $self = $class->SUPER::new($parent, -1, [20, 20], [$GRID_WIDTH, $GRID_HEIGHT]); $self is a Wx::Grid, so this is essentially: my $grid = Wx::Grid->new($parent, -1, [20, 20], [$GRID_WIDTH, $GRID_HEIGHT]); The grid has three columns and five rows. Each column is 100 pixels wide, and the row label area is 50 pixels wide. Plus there are five one-pixel vertical border lines. So the total width of the control should be, I think, 355 pixels. Likewise, the column label area is 32 pixels high, and each of the five rows is 17 pixels high, and there are six one-pixel horizontal border lines, so the control should be 123 pixels high. When $GRID_WIDTH is 355 and $GRID_HEIGHT is 123, the white background of the control extends below and to the right of the actual control, which looks terrible. See the first image attached, wx-grid1.png. When $GRID_WIDTH is 353 and $GRID_HEIGHT is 121, the control gets scrollbars that block out part of the content. See the second image attached, wx-grid2.png. (I know someone's going to ask: What happens when you use values of [354, 122]?! :-) Answer: it looks approximately the same as the first scenario, the [355,123] set). How do I make a Wx::Grid "as big as it needs to be" without scrollbars and without spilling outside of the boundaries? TIA. -- Eric J. Roode
