[wxPython-users] RE: GridWindow

[Raffaello Barella]

Thanks, Mike, your code suits my purpose. Since my idea is to put some
explaining tooltip where the column is too narrow to host a meaningful
label, I just replaced your line
          "if pos > 130 and pos < 180:"
with
          "col =3D self.grid.XToCol(pos)
           if col =3D=3D 2: " and so on.

Ciao.
