Hi,

I have a dialog which is using the a MasterDetailsBlock to display a set of items in a list. When the user selects an item and presses either edit or add a new details page is created on the right hand side.

I want to more accuratly control the size of the portion on the left hand side - the master details block. My prefered option would be to keep the size of the block static and for any extra space to be taken up by the details page.

Alternatively I would keep the ratio of the master block and details page widths to something like 1:3. I have tried to set the weights on the sashform in the master details block but it seems that until an item is selected in the list the sash form only has one item and thus setting the weights throws an exception.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Andy
