Resizing already realized widgets [message #2352]

I want to force a widget which has already been realized to resize
itself automatically. How does one do this? At present I can't even seem to
force a change in size by using the ysize/xsize keywords, but I can't believe
that there isn't a way to do this...

Morning,

Yup, this is not a simple little problem (in IDL). The only way I have
heard to do this is the following (and I don't like it much either)

-create your widget base with teh keyword: TLB_SIZE_EVENTS
-then in the event handler check for the widget_base_event, and when
found you must re-realize your widget with a new x/ysize
(if your x/ysize are being ignored now then you may have problems)

Sorry I cannot help more. It would be nice to see a widget_control
keyword called Resize.
