Anyone help?

After emailing Meinrad about a problem with getting a control to change it's width and not getting it to change on screen i have decided to put this question to the list.

I had tried changing the X,Y values within the foxGUI generated code but saw no change!

I have tonight tested and proven to myself that the change isn't put into effect on the screen.

Did this in code....

puts " current width is #{@CRlist2.width}"
@CRlist.width = 200
puts "width is #{@CRlist2.width}"

output to the Scite output screen was this
>ruby mymainwin.rb
current width is 52
now width is 200
>Exit code: 0

BUT THERE was no physical change to the control width!
any further pointers on what could be the problem?

thanks,

Dave.

Ps I do get changes in X & Y placement it's just the width & height of the listbox that cannot be changed!

Re: Layouts not changing/keeping settings

Have had some joy with getting the window set to the right size

but getting the list control that i would like to have wider hasn't changed.

This is how the control looks after I've generated the code from foxGUI

FX::List.new(@CRhorizontalframe3){|w|
@CRlist2=w
  w.wdg_name='CRlist2'
  w.font=FX::Font.new.from_s('Tahoma|120|40|5|0|0|0').to_FXFont
  w.width=109
  w.numVisible=10
  w.y=350
  w.height=330
  w.layoutHints=60
  w.x=10

}

Now i have tried the following things as an experiment.

Comments out the height, widths and numVisible lines.

I get a square box.

Now....

No resize call within my event code and height, width commented and numVisible uncommented - get a longer box but not wider!

use of the resize or width height properties and the numvisible uncommented.

the control shape doesn't change! (see pasted output for evidence that i have indeed changed these values from what they where originally.

>ruby mymainwin.rb
current width is 52
height is 230
now width is 200
now height is 390
>Exit code: 0

if I uncomment the width & height (but numvisible commented out) i get a square box!!

even tho output shows that i have indeed changed it's dimensions (see above pasted sample).

Now i have a number of controls within a hierarchy could this be having an effect on things?

layout is like this...

Mainwindow

Tab book

Tabitem

Verticalframe

Horizontalframe

Lots of controls

then this particular list control.

New Tab book here with similar layouts to the above.

for the layout properties within foxGUI i have had nothing selected to layout...

Right

Left

lay_out_right_side

lay_out_left_side

in fact i believe i've tried almost all of them to try and get some sort of change but getting nothing!

maybe it's just something I have to accept - as i have but it'd be nice to try and figure out

what is causing this fault.

regards,

Dave.
