PopupGallery InitialColumnCount question

Hi David,

That behavior is coded in right now. The problem is that right now, the resize code resizes the gallery and not the popup directly. This is needed for certain reasons like ensuring that additional menu items always stay visible, etc. But if we allow it to go smaller, eventually you get the popupgallery to be smaller than the width of the popup (due to minimum size of additional menu items). It's hard to explain without seeing it, but the gist is, we'd need to look into changing how we do resizing while still not adversely affecting our rich feature set in this area. We'll add it to the TODO list.

I think I understand the issue.

What would be satisfactory for me would be to add another property - MinimumColumnCount (which could default to 1). You would then use MinimumColumnCount to control at what point you stop resizing smaller, and InitialColumnCount to control the width that the popup starts at.

Might that work?

David,

Great minds think alike! :) That's actually what we had written down in the TODO item for this feature, to allow the minimum number of columns to be set, defaulting to 1.
