[Fxruby-users] Frames not obeying width/height?

[Carl Y. <ca...@yo...>]

I'm having a problem getting my application to space things the way I 
want them.  I basically have one horizontal frame that contains 
everything.  Inside that I have left and right vertical frames.  The 
left frame I want to contain an iconlist, and I want it take up most of 
the space.  The right frame will contain a basic list with some buttons 
below it, and I only need it to be as wide as the widest item in the 
list.  So I want it to be fairly narrow.  The following code makes the 
right and left frames equal size, which scrunches the iconlist and gives 
way too much room to the right-hand list.  However, when I try to remove 
the LAYOUT_FILL_X options from the right and left frames, the lists 
occupy the opposite edges and are very narrow, leaving a huge gap of 
nothing in the middle.

I tried leaving the left frame set to LAYOUT_FILL_X and hard-coding the 
width of the right frame, but it seems to completely ignore my size 
settings and leave very little room for the right-hand frame.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carl

Here is the code:
----------------------------

contents = FXHorizontalFrame.new(self,
   LAYOUT_SIDE_TOP|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

leftframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(contents,
   LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
FXLabel.new(leftpane, "Transactions", nil, LAYOUT_FILL_X)

# Transaction view window
transframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(leftframe,
   
FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

FXVerticalSeparator.new(contents, SEPARATOR_RIDGE|LAYOUT_FILL_Y)

rightframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(contents,
   LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_RIGHT,
   0, 0, 150, 200, 0, 0, 0, 0)
FXLabel.new(rightframe, "Categories", nil, LAYOUT_FILL_X)

catlistframe = FXVerticalFrame.new(rightframe,
   FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK|LAYOUT_TOP|LAYOUT_LEFT|LAYOUT_FILL_X,
   0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

@catlist = FXList.new(catlistframe, 20, nil, 0,
   LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|LIST_SINGLESELECT)
@catlist.appendItem("Text")

@translist = FXIconList.new(transframe, nil, 0,
   LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|ICONLIST_BROWSESELECT)
@translist.appendHeader("Date", nil, 75)
@translist.appendHeader("Check", nil, 50)
@translist.appendHeader("Amount", nil, 75)
@translist.appendHeader("Payee", nil, 250)
@translist.appendHeader("Category", nil, 150)
@translist.appendHeader("Result", nil, 150)
