Adrian, what you say reminds me the very first way I thought to achieve what I described (but I stopped and forgot!! :-( )
I thought that a collapsible screenlet (we already have) could have another attribute to be collapsed horizzontaly or vertically. One of the two is what we have right know. In the other one the screenlet-title bar should be rendered vertically on a side of the screenlet and could be used to collapse. The left-column could then be completely wrapped in the screenlet...et voilà. We have also the screenlet collapsed status storing feature in place now! -Bruno 2009/12/22 Adrian Crum <adri...@hlmksw.com>: > Something similar that would be nice to have is a generic collapsible column > implementation - where clicking on a link or control reduces the column to a > small icon.
