That seems to work great Pete. I've now lost the right alignment of the
column - it's reverted back to left. I see that there's a
dgColumnAlignment but I'm not figuring out how to make that work. The
setting in the property inspector is ignored . . .

Hi Marty,
Just posted a more specific way to do this using the LayoutControl handler
of the datagrid's custom behavior. If you're not familiar with setting up
custom behaviors:
- go to the Columns tab of the inspector for the datagrid
- highlight your column 4
- click the plus sign at the bottom of the inspector tab
- close the resulting stack window without making any changes
- back in the inspector, make sure your column 4 is still highlighted then
click the "Custom Behavior" button to open the script
I'm not entirely convinced LayoutControl is the best place for the code but
I can't find any reference to a message that is sent when a datagrid column
is resized.
Hope that makes it more clear
Pete

Thanks Pete,
I have very limited experience with datagrids. What message is sent when
the user resizes a column? Where in the datagrid would I place my script -
in the group script?
Thanks,

Hi Marty,
Best I can think of is to get the dgProps["column widths"] property of the
datagrid. It contains a comma-delimited list of the widths of the columns
so by adding up the first 3 items of the list, you'll get the left edge of
the 4th column, and adding the first 4 items of that list, you'll get the
right edge of the 4th column, both relative to the left edge of the
datagrid. From that you can figure out thew width and placement of your
field. I don't know if the width includes the separator line between the
columns.

I have a datagrid with several columns, column 4 of which contains a
number. Under the datagrid I have placed a field that keeps a total of
the
values in this column. I would like this field to match the width of
column
4 and align itself directly under it so that if a user changes the column
width, my total field will realign itself with the width and placement of
the column. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Marty Knapp
