Nop!

A LOT EASIER :)
Well... you had enough time to solve already :)

When you navigate cells using keyboard (left and right arrows) you 'know' your current column position and your next position (depending on left or right key was pressed).

The only thing that you must do is set the width of the current column to zero and then change the position to the new one.

When you go from right to left, you must reverse the operation.

10 minutes of coding :)

Great. Great. Great. :)

I thought of various alternatives, but could not find out the trick.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

The first thing that came in my mind, after reading the above, was:
"This is Houdini's way to do programming!" - ;-)
And then, almost immediately i had my "epiphany" , since I realized that the major part of every UI and especially GUI (and more especially, WIN GUI) is based on optical tricks.
Tricks that produce a pseudo-reality which just mimics the real-reality and tries to fool users with such cheap (though best selling) tricks.
In fact, GUIs are pure "Illusions-machines" that transform the 'zero' into 'something' and vise-versa. The sure thing with these
"Illusion-machines" is that they "make it" very well. (and MiniGUI belongs to this successful gang, of course).

- BTW, did you, all good people here, see Avatar (the movie)? Sure you did..
The Illusionary GUI of a virtual Life in all its majesty.!
What else, a poor (mini)GUI programmer, might have dream . ;-)

Hola todos

Excelente trabajo, aunque note que ahora no es posible mover las columnas, antes yo podia "coger" con el mouse una columna y moverla a otro lado ahora esto no es posible...

GRACIAS

Hello all

Excellent work, but note that this is not possible to move the columns, before I could "catch" a column with the mouse and move it somewhere else now this is not possible ...

THANK YOU

Please do not enjoy too much. Recently, physicists have a tendency to return to Plato.
We're just waiting for confirmation that our observations of the whole universe is an illusion. :twisted:

Had you seen 'What the bleep do we know?' movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399877/).

If not, you should do it :)

Your idea about what exactly is real could change...
