elementary problem with LAYOUT_FILL

[Will Parsons-2]

I'm sure this must be simple but I can't seem to figure out how to fill the
main window with widgets.  The following bare-bones test app illustrates my
problem:
----------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'fox16'
include Fox

class TopLevelWindow < FXMainWindow
   def initialize(app)
      super(app, 'Test Application', :width => 200, :height => 300)
      FXPacker.new(self, FRAME_SUNKEN, :opts => LAYOUT_FILL)
   end
   def create
      super
      show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
   end
end

FXApp.new do |app|
   TopLevelWindow.new(app)
   app.create
   app.run
end
----------------------
Why doesn't the FXPacker fill the top-level window?

Hi William,

I haven't used this control but think it's a non visible control - I.E it is something you don't visually see but can access when used within a window.

Think of it like a Timer control where you've given the user a set period of time to respond but you don't want a counter to be visible so you user Timer set it's timeout value and when started counts to the timeout value then it calls some sort of default action.

I do stand to be corrected on this as i am new to FXruby too.

But it is visible - since I passed a FRAME_SUNKEN attribute to the FXPacker
you can see a small sunken square in the upper left-hand corner.  Of course,
in the real application I'm trying to build, the problem is that the widgets
that get packed don't fill the entire top-level window as I would like.

For some reason you've split out the construction options over two
separate arguments. Trying changing this line:

    FXPacker.new(self, FRAME_SUNKEN, :opts => LAYOUT_FILL)

to this:

    FXPacker.new(self, :opts => FRAME_SUNKEN | LAYOUT_FILL)

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Thanks! - that seems to have been the problem with my test app.
(I'm still having issues with getting an FXTable to fill its alotted
space, but I'll poke around with the options a bit more before
bothering the list.)
