Hi
Can you add ability to resize columns in FinalBuilder IDE, currently if the action description is very long I'm unable to resize it.

We have tried to implement resizable columns many times over the years, but it never ends up working in a way that feels right. The issue is the treelist view control we use just doesn’t have a decent algorithm for resizing columns when the control resizes.

In that case is it possible to make the Description column wider and others narrow (for example the Enable column can be more narrow since it’s just a checkbox and column name )
or let the user the option to set it as he wants ?

I wish it was that simple. The VCL framework we use doesn’t handle scaling very well… those columns are sized so that they work correctly with large fonts as well as normal fonts. I will have another look at this for FinalBuilder 8 but can’t promise anything at this time.
