Comments

The BestDimensions method calculates the best dimensions for the current cell.

BestDimensions calculates the cell's dimensions based on the available width (proposedWidth). If the width is limited, the cell may be able to grow in height, for example by wrapping text around.

SftTree/NET 2.0: If the proposedWidth argument is set to -1, the defined column width (ColumnClass.Width) is used as the available width (plus the additional width made available by subordinate cells).

SftTabs/NET 6.0: If -1 is specified for the proposedWidth argument, the space need to display the tab contents in their entirety is calculated.
