                </hbox>
            </row>
            <row>
                <label value="Options:"/>
                <textbox rows="3" width="99%"/>
            </row>
        </rows>
    </grid>

Properties

Menupopup

By default, the none is assumed, you can specify the auto to show a default menu on each column. Or you can provide your own menupopup for each column.

Auto

	<grid>
		<columns menupopup="auto">
			<column label="Author" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Title" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Publisher" sort="auto"/>
			<column label="Hardcover" sort="auto"/>
		</columns>

Customized Menupopup

<window title="Column's Menu Demo" border="normal" width="500px">
	<menupopup id="editPopup">
        <menuitem label="Group" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-group.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Ascending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowup.png"/>
        <menuitem label="Sort Descending" image="~./zul/img/grid/menu-arrowdown.png"/>
	</menupopup>
	<grid>
		<columns sizable="true" menupopup="editPopup">
			<column id="col" label="Type" sortAscending="&#36;{asc}" sortDescending="&#36;{dsc}"/>
			<column id="col1" label="Type1" sortAscending="&#36;{asc}" sortDescending="&#36;{dsc}"/>
			<column id="col2" label="Content"/>
		</columns>
	</grid>
</window>

As you can see, the example above specify a customized menupopup to the columns as its column menu.

Sizable

Specifies whether the user is allowed to size a column of a grid (by dragging the vertical bar between two adjacent columns).

Double-Click to Auto-Resize

Notice that, in additions to dragging, the end user could double-click on the vertical bar between two adjacent columns, such that the grid will automatically resize the column to fit its contents. In other words, all sizable column provides the auto-fitting functionality.
