Variable size of widget_lists [message #32028]

Hi,

when I create a WIDGET_LIST with a fixed number of characters and lines
(i.e. I give xsize and ysize) and put some initial fields using value
everything works fine.

However, if I later update this list using widget_control, <listID>,
value='something else' (or an array or whatever...), IDL decreases the
Xsize of the list if the text is shorter than the allowed space. When
it's longer it neatly gives me a scroll bar, but why can't IDL not just
keep to my setting? I know XSIZE etc are 'just hints', but can I not
'Strongly Suggest" IDL this :).

Thanks for all help,

Dr. Robbert Verweij.
