Mikael,


I'm not sure if anyone answered this already, but this can in fact be done.

After creating a text widget:


	text=new FXText(....);


You can set a "desired" size in terms of rows and columns of text:


	text->setVisRows(25);
	text->setVisCols(80);


This is the default width/height, i.e. the layout manager which contains the
FXText widget may still interpret FXText's layout flags and its packing hints
and give it a different size....

By the way, the size is determined in terms of the width of the number "8".

This reflects the proclivity towards engineering software at CFDRC... :-) :-)
