<!-- $Header: /cvsroot/xbae/Xbae/doc/spancells.html,v 1.6 2002/03/11 21:52:50 amai Exp $ --> <HTML> <head> <title>Spannable Cells</TITLE> </head> <body> <P> Spannable cells is an interesting one. What is meant by spannable cells is the ability for a cell to flow over into another and not have the vertical cell border drawn. After this hurdle is overcome, there is absolutely no reason why somebody (not me, though - I'm to busy making the changes) can't write a package that will emulate Exc*l and an end to the pathetic existence of spreadsheets on Unix. </P> <P> In essence, it can be done already by obtaining the widget ID of the <B>XmTextField</B> and setting resizeWidth to True. Problem is, though, after committing the changes to a cell, it pops back to it's usual size. </P> <P> The changes made to the drawing of the row shadow should also facilitate the implementation as it is now drawn on a per cell basis. </P> <P> Again, there will be significant changes to the code but, provided as a resource on an as need basis, there shouldn't be a significant change on performance nor memory consumption. </P> </body> </HTML>
