2387.0. "S Text widget under shell widget??" by KAOU35::DLEROUX () Fri Mar 02 1990 15:28

    
    I am having problems with the simple text widget.  When the S Text
    widget is a child of the shell widget or the main_window_widget it does
    not resize itself.  Why is that?  Is there a way around this?
    
    I have noticed that if I add a parent dialog box to my s text widget it
    does resize itself.  
    
    Here's my uil code :
    object
            draw_text : simple_text {
                arguments {
                    cols = 2;
                    rows = 1;
                    half_border = false;
                    border_width = 0;
                };
                callbacks {
                    create = procedure create_proc( K_DRAW_TEXT );
    		};
    	    };
    
    The "draw_text" widget will resize itself if it has a dialog box parent
    but it won't as a direct child of the main window widget or as a
    child of the shell widget.  The problem is that I want it as a direct
    child of the main window or shell widget.  The main window widget's
    height and width are set to 0 and the shell allowShellResize attribute
    is set to true.  The main window already has several children and they
    do resize themselves correctly.
    
    Thanks
