Hi Mirek,

Could you please change visibility of methods GetCellRect and GetCellRectM to protected? These methods are useful for development of new controls.
IMHO, the only reason to declare something as private is when it can invalidate state of an object without proper use.

TIA

Well, another reason is when it is implementation issue and you are not sure whether you want to fix it in public interface. When something is made public, it is hard(er) to remove.

Anyway, in this case, I made them public.

It looks like they are private again.

I do see GetScreenCellRect and GetScreenCellRectM, which are public and are based on GetCellRect and GetCellRectM.

Could you please make GetCellRect and GetCellRectM public/protected again? They are more generic than GetScreenCellRect and GetScreenCellRectM.

TIA

Thank you.

I believe GetCellRect was mentioned in release notes of 2017 release as a new method, but it is not there.
