[Fxruby-users] How to size a minimized MDIChild?

[Hal F. <ha...@hy...>]

Hello, all.

This is my first post to this ml. Remains to be seen whether it will
work.

I'm confused about something. I want to change the (minimized) size
of an MDIChild window so that the children will "tile" inside the
parent like bricks.

I see no way to do it. I can resize the child while it's in "normal"
mode, but that seems to have nothing to do with the minimized size.

I'd also be interested in simply *detecting* the size of the minimized
window.

Any ideas?

Actually the MDIChild seems fairly "unmanipulable" anyway. AFAIK there
is no way to get rid of the little icon on the left of the title bar
or the three "sizer" icons on the right.

Is there some way to put little independent windows into a bigger
window without using this mdi stuff?

Thanks,
Hal Fulton
