Proportional table column spacing upon resizeStack - how to

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Mark,

As the engine sends four params (see below) with the resizestack  
message, it's quite easy to use them to achieve the goal:

on resizestack pNewWidth,pNewHeight,pOldWidth,pOldHeight
   local tRect,tTabStops,tTabStop,tNewTabStops
   -----
   put the rect of fld "Table" into tRect
   put pNewWidth - 4 into item 3 of tRect
   -- -4: you'll use an appropriate value depending on your context
   set the rect of fld "Table" to tRect -- resizes the field
   ------
   put the tabStops of fld "Table" into tTabStops
   repeat for each item tTabStop in tTabStops
     put round(tTabStop * (pNewWidth / pOldWidth)) & comma after  
tNewTabStops
     -- a value in pixels (integers) according to the ratio between  
pNewWidth and pOldWidth
   end repeat
   delete last char of tNewTabStops -- comma
   set the tabStops of fld "Table" to tNewTabStops
end resizestack

See tabStops in the docs :-)

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
