Secret to resizing text widgets [message #19444] Fri, 24 March 2000 00:00

Hello,

I give up. Who can tell me the secret to modifying the size of a text
widget with resize events on the base widget? I want to have a simple
widget to display some lines of text. I want the user to be able to
resize the window. Why is this so difficult? All the examples of
resize that I have looked at deal with draw widgets only. If I specify
a base widget with column ordering, the xsize of the text widget
automatically gets resized, but the y axis does not. If I specify the
xsize of the text widget, it is ignored. Below is the code sample I
have been stressing over. If anyone can help, I'd be too grateful for
words.

<=======Start of file testbox.pro==================>

pro testbox_event, event

widget_Control, event.top, Update = 0
widget_control, event.top, get_uvalue = info


;PRINT DEBUG
widget_control, event.top, tlb_get_size = tlbsize
;print,'1-Base size:',tlbsize


widget_control, info.widtext, scr_ysize = event.y
widget_control, info.widtext, scr_xsize = event.x
;print,'( '+strtrim(event.x,2)+', '+strtrim(event.y,2)+')'

;Reset the widbase widget size
widget_Control, event.top, xsize = tlbsize[0]-0, ysize = tlbsize[1]-0
widget_control, event.top, /update

;PRINT DEBUG
widget_control, event.top, tlb_get_size = tlbsize
;print,'2-Base size:',tlbsize
wait, 0.01

end
;*********************************************************** ******************
pro testbox
widbase = widget_base(column = 0,$
TLB_Size_Events = 1)

widbuttonclose = widget_button(widbase,$
value = 'Close',$
ysize = 30,$
xsize = 120)

widtext = widget_text(widbase,$
scroll = 1,$
editable = 1,$
yoffset = 35,$
scr_xsize = 200,$ ;Units are pixels
scr_ysize = 300)

info = {$
widbuttonclose:widbuttonclose,$
widtext:widtext }

widget_control, widbase, /realize, Set_Uvalue = info
xmanager, 'testbox', widbase, /no_block
end
