I'm trying to generate an object which will show data drawn from a row in a Sybase table. The object would be an instance of class Matrix except for one annoying circumstance: Matrix doesn't let you vary the width of columns or rows one at a time. For example: suppose that I had two text fields in my Sybase table, one of width 4 and one of width 40. What I'd really like to do is use an instance method to set the width of the first column of my matrix-like object to something vaguely corresponding to width 4 and the width of the second column to width 40. I've looked around (in the appkit and in the archives) and there doesn't seem to be an object of this nature anywhere. I've even taken the AppInspector out and looked peered at the WorkSpace manager to see how Next does this. Interestingly, they don't use Matrix, either.They don't even use NXBrowser. This seemed a little strange given that they presumably thought those objects sufficient for the rest of us. Anyway, the question is: Does anyone out there have an object like Matrix with variable width columns/rows which they'd like to share? Respond via e-mail to memphis!rvs@uunet.uu.net and I'll post a summary. -- Ronald V. Simmons memphis!rvs@uunet.uu.net
