It's obviously easy enough to fit a grid into the client space of a
form or panel, but how does one do the reverse?
The exact size of a grid (i.e. such that the outermost grid lines are
either displayed or not displayed predictably) depends on the widget
set, and possibly on other details such as fount metrics, screen DPI
and so on. At present I find myself applying "fudge factors" when
shrinking a form to be an exact fit around a grid of a predetermined
number of rows and columns, and that's still not entirely reliable
when moving between systems.
Is there a "correct" way of doing this?
If you don't want to calculate the exact amount, you can dimension the
form sufficiently big, and adjust the columns to fill the form.
That's doable for the width, but what about rows where I believe there's
less scope for per-row tweaking?
