This is a question on resizing child widgets in an attached dialog box.
I have the following widget hierarchy:
Main Window
|
Attached Dialog box (work area)
/ \
SVN widget dialog box (control panel)
The dialog box control panel is arranged beneath the SVN widget in the
ADB.
When the main window is resized, I would like the SVN widget to grow
and shrink, but would like the control panel to remain at initial size.
I tried many different ways of setting the ADB attachment attributes
for the children widgets, but couldn't get the desired behavior. I am
wondering whether this is possible at all.
Any ideas will be appreciated. I haven't reproduced the actual UIL
code, to avoid clutter, but will be happy to supply it if anyone is
interested.
thanks,
jay

This sounds similar to a setup we used... - try attaching the left, right, and top of the SVN to the ADB - attach the bottom of the SVN to the control panel - attach the left, right, and bottom of the control panel to the ADB - give the control panel a height attibute. This will allow for width resizing of both the SVN and control panel...but the height of the control panel will remain constant. Dan | |||||

You might also consider designating the (control panel) dialog as the command window child of the main window, and let main window worry about the resizing.
