Text Layout in two or more columns

wxPython Users
1

Hello,

I'm thinking about a text widget which gives the user the possibility to layout the text in two or more columns, similar to a newspaper.
I like to get some suggestions how to archive this. Should I better subclass richtextctrl or construct a new widget on my own ?

Any hints ?

I also thought about using a listctrl or a grid, but then every paragraph use its own editor component which is what I don't like very much.

regards,
Jürgen

What if the new widget is composed under the hood of two or more wx.TextCtrl set aside with **wx.BORDER_NONE ** added to their style?

hmm, played a bit with this solution, but the wx.TextCtrls are multiline and one get a vertical scrollbar for each. If this can be solved in a way that there is only one scrollbar for all which scrolls all, that should be ok.

If you know how to create a simple table in HTML, you could also use the
HTMLWindow widget to do this.
