Auto-resize functionality with Tables API about imgui

[fauder]

I did try ImGui::TableSetColumnWidth() but could not get it to work.

Without submitting explicit/specific details about what you attempted so it is difficult to help you. Even written in good faith, textual explanations are often ambiguous if not erroneous. It's better to wait for the MCVE exhibiting an issue.

You're completely right and I apologize for the lack of MCVE for the moment. I was pressed for time (and still am) and could not strip code in time to produce the MCVE. I'll get to it ASAP.

I'll edit the main post when I have the MCVE.

Hello,

Without submitting explicit/specific details about what you attempted so it is difficult to help you. Even written in good faith, textual explanations are often ambiguous if not erroneous. It's better to wait for the MCVE exhibiting an issue.

Auto calculation of column widths does not seem to be working.

What have you tried? It's not clear. Are you measuring the maximum expected width of all submitted values? I don't see what that would be any different between columns and tables.

The problem with this is I could not find a way to set column widths post-humously; From what I gathered looking at the sources, the layout is locked and modification of column width is not permitted after the header row is submitted.

It's locked for the frame as it should be - same as Columns, but if you modify it it'll be taken into account for the next frame.
Have you tried calling ImGui::TableSetColumnWidth() ?

While trying to produce MCVE, I got it to work 😅

I don't know what I did wrong before but caching max. column widths calculated during a frame and feeding it to ImGui::TableSetupColumn() calls the next frame works as intended.

Thank you for your time and for authoring ImGui as well 🤘
Cheers!
