Howdy folks! I have a bunch of buttons that I want to organize in a particular way, but I'm having trouble thinking of a way to do it. I want the buttons organized into two columns and I want all the buttons to be placed in identically sized boxes (based on the largest button). At first, this sounds like a textbook example for a Row Column, but: It is a very real possibility that the container for these buttons will be asked to be wider than it would like. In this case, I want the the two colums to spread apart, but all the boxes to still be the same size. RowCol doesn't to this, it keeps the two colums the same distance apart. Row Colum gave me this: XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX instead of the desired: XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX I've tried various combinations of RowCols and Table widgets, without much luck. Anyone got any ideas? What would make this problem really easy was if there was a way I could link up a column of one table widget to a column of another table widget and say "These two gotta be the same size." Is there a way to add such a constraint? Oh yeah, I'd appreciate email. Its hard to keep up with the gobs of info posted to this newsgroup. Thanks, Eric Slimko The University of Michigan
