Proportional column width

[Andreas Falkenhahn]

Is there any way to make wxListView and wxDataViewCtrl columns use a width that is proportional to the widget width?

E.g. I want to have two columns and make each column use 50% of the widget width. When the user resizes the window, the columns' width should be adapted as well so that they will always be 50% of the widget width. Is there any inbuilt way to do this or do I need to override EVT_SIZE and then compute the new column width and set it in EVT_SIZE or how should that be done?

No, there is no built-in way to do it. I thought about adding some API to
size the columns equally, as this seems like a relatively common use case,
and it could be implemented natively in the Mac version, but looking at my
own use of wxDVC I see that it's almost never as simple as that, actually,
and so finally I just keep writing ad hoc wxEVT_SIZE handlers.

Yes, this is indeed exactly how it can be done.
