tablelist config questions

[DrS]

I am not sure these are covered in the documentation:

1) When I select a row (i.e., click on it with the mouse), there is a
rectangle surrounding the entire line. It seems like it only shows on
the active row. Is there a way to remove this or modify it?

2) I like resizable columns. But you can resize a column to zero
meaning that no column label is left showing. I see maxwidth config
options but no minwidth options. Is it possible to set a min width
beyond which a column cannot be shrunk?


Thanks!

It's been a while, but I think you want to set the "-activestyle" option
to "none".

Not sure on this one without some experimentation.

1. That rectangle corresponds to the default value "frame" of the
-activestyle option. The two other values are "none" and "underline".

2. There is no way to set a minimum width for a column. BTW: The
-maxwidth column configuration option is not related to interactive
column resizing. Instead, it specifies an upper limit for the
automatically computed width of a dynamic-width column. For example, if
the current contents of the column would require a width of 100
average-size characters and the -maxwidth option was set to 30, then
Tablelist will only make the colum's width large enough for 30
average-size characters. This doesn't prevent the user from enlarging
the column interactively.

I don't see this option listed anywhere. When I try it, it gives me an
error. I have tablelist 5.5. Is this a new option?

Thanks for the clarification. It is a nice to have but not really critical.


Thanks,

Have you looked into the manual? And are you sure you didn't misspell
the option's name?

Mea culpa! Yes, it worked. I was using "$t configure ..." command but
this option is only available during the creation time it seems.

Thanks again,

This is not correct. The option can be set at any time. Try it again! :-)

Weird - it works OK now. It must have been a spelling mistake.


Thanks,
