Make one column fill remaining space in SlickGrid without messing up explicit width columns

Question

Some of my columns need explicit widths, while others should just fill up all available space.

There is a forceFitColumns option, but it seems to ignore any explicit widths I've set. I want my explicit widths to be respected, and for implicit ones to be estimated sanely.

I guess to get this behavior I'd have to disable the default column width and rewrite autoSizeColumns to not mess up my explicit column widths. I can imagine a convention where you put in '*' for the column width if you'd like it to be auto-sized instead of using the default. Has anyone made a fork that has this kind of feature?

The "*" implicit width notation would be useful indeed.

Meanwhile, you can also set minWidth and maxWidth on your explicitly-sized columns so that they are not resized by forceFitColumns.

Ah I see. If I set minWidth=maxWidth that would do the same thing as setting an explicit width, wouldn't it? Thanks! – Nick Retallack Mar 26 '12 at 23:44
