controlling dialog widget size [message #30476] Wed, 01 May 2002 10:42 Go to previous message

Hello,

Is there a way to ensure that my modal dialog widget will fit on any display
screen? I have a modal dialog which is arranged in a column. On most displays,
the whole widget fits on the screen. But on some smaller displays, the widget
is too tall to fit on the screen, and thus, the "OK" button at the bottom of the
widget cannot be selected.

I realize that I could arrange the widget into two columns so that it is shorter
and wider. But what I'm really interested in is a general way of ensuring that
a dialog will fit on any screen. Should I check the screen size and check the
size of the top level base and rearange the dialog if necessary? Can you add a
scroll bar to a dialog? Any other ideas?

Thanks!
Virginia Rogers
