rowLayout, make its all columns adjustable

[Buexe]

AFAIK you can only specify one column to be adjustable. If this doesn`t fit your purposes maybe you can use some controls in a formLayout, because a formLayout has the ability to position his children relative to the size ( percentage ). I hope you can understand what I mean, I think there is an example in the formLayout documentation.

thank you for the answer,

yes, i know how to work with formLayout, but what i understand from you is that the use of columnLayout and rowLayout is limited, right? so i must change them with formLayout...

Hi.. columnLayout is just one column that all other controls and layouts sit under. The `-adj 1` flag will make the direct children of the columnLayout stretch to fit the width of the layout. With rowLayout, you need to specify the widths of each column in the rowLayout. Unfortunately the children of the rowLayout wont stretch to fit the columnLayout...

Have a look at this. By resizing the window, you can see how the columns work. Try changing the '-adj 1' to 'adj 0' and see what happens to the first button control. It's a shame the rowLayout doesn't stretch.


window -t "columnLayout test" ui_window;
frameLayout -lv 0;
columnLayout -adj 1;
button -l "In the columnLayout";
rowLayout -nc 2;
button -l "In the rowLayout";
button -l "In the rowLayout";

showWindow ui_window;


Hope that helps.
cheers,
