Hi, I'm trying to find a replacement formatting for what my current web app does using an html table.
The table is simply two columns: a label in the left and value in the right column. I want/need it to look mostly like readable text, not so much like a separate GUI elements. At least the value side should allow to copy selected text into the clipboard. Initially I tried to do so using the "label" control. But there seems to be no way to enable the text selection copying I need. So I switched to use the textbox control. Somehow I can't get that right. readonly works, but the attempt to remove the border (by creating it with border=No) fails. It still has a border. Using multiline with a single line of text seems to create at least two lines for the control. Using wordwrap (which according to the docs would be something I want for my table) on it collapses it back to a single line but *adds* a scrollbar (for no reason I can see). Am I doing it all wrong? Is there a better way. E.g., using label or something else? Furthermore I tried to format the table using gridbox. I failed completely. Somehow I can't figure out how to tell the gridbox to expand the left column to fit the largest label. How would I do this? I tried FITTOCHILDREN=C0 Another idea was to use the width of the strings and calculate a propper minsize for the elements (labels) in the left column of the gridbox. But how would I do this? The length of the string does not match well to the actual width using proportional fonts. And I failed to find a way to compute the width I should use. Thanks /Jörg BTW: I'm using the GTK driver under Linux. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Iup-users mailing list Iup-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/iup-users
