Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Cut-off text in popup mode

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

Unfortunately, there is no good way to easily resize the buttons=20
intelligently without hacking at the code.  I have it on the TODO list,=20=

but have not yet gotten around to it.

The buttons won't resize properly according to their labels for any of=20=

the dialogs (not just the dropdown).  They just resize themselves=20
proportional to the size of the window.

Two quick and easy (although ugly and definitely not the "right" way to=20=

do it) solutions are:
* run it with a --width option, using a value that makes it wide enough=20=

to accommodate the text in that particular dialog.  The problem with=20
this, though, is that it will look strangely wide and won't be=20
proportional.
* Or, edit the .nib file to make the buttons wider.  This will make the=20=

dialogs with smaller labels look bad.

Sorry I don't have a better answer yet.
