widget layout [message #31431]

Hello all,

Is there a way to query a realized widget base to see what kind of
layout it enforces? I want a function that tells me if a base uses a
row, a column, or a bulletin board layout. If this information can be
obtained directly with WIDGET_INFO or WIDGET_CONTROL, I could not tell
from reading the help files.

Iï¿½ve tried analyzing the geometry of the base with respect to the
geometry of its children in order to determine the layout, but this only
works if there is already more than one child. Itï¿½s occurred to me to
add and then delete a "small" child (maybe a null string widget label)
to see which dimension of the base expands, but the problems with this
are obvious. Probably I am missing something.

Any help is appreciated.

TC
