Thanks Pete. I figured out a way to do it by intercepting getProp
dgColumnWidth. I was hoping to tell when a column had been resized after the
fact, but I do not think a message gets sent. Things only happen during the
resize operation. That will have to do.
I store a property of column properties, the name, the label and the width as a
tab delimited list. Then I use this script in the datagrid:
getprop dgColumnWidth [pColumn]
put the tblDisplay of this card into theColumnData
put the dgProp["column widths"] of me into theColumnWidths
replace comma with tab in theColumnWidths
put the itemdelimiter into theOldDelim
set the itemdelimiter to tab
repeat with theCount = 1 to the number of lines of theColumnData
put item theCount of theColumnWidths into item 3 of line theCount of
theColumnData
end repeat
set the tblDisplay of this card to theColumnData
set the itemdelimiter to theOldDelim
pass dgColumnWidth
end dgColumnWidth
Works a treat.
