fxruby users - Mar 2010 - Is there a way to enforce a minimum (app) window size?

I created a simple app and need to allow the DECOR_RESIZE option.
 Unfortunately, it means that the user can shrink the window size to
something smaller than what all the important elements require.

Is there a way to enforce a minimum window size?  i.e. so that the window
can be resized but not smaller than, say 200x200?

I googled this but didn''t turn up anything for FXRuby.  Please let me
know
if there''s a way to do this.

Thanks.  Paul.

I have not tried this, but see this question from the FOX FAQ:

    http://www.fox-toolkit.net/faq#TOC-How-can-I-specify-a-minimum-window-

Hope this helps,

Lyle

Cool FAQ.  Thanks, Lyle.  I didn''t know about that page.

DECOR_STRETCHABLE works perfectly (in place of DECOR_RESIZE)!  It lets me
resize the window but never smaller than the minimum amount of space
required by the elements in the window.

I also changed the statusbar property to remove STATUSBAR_WITH_DRAGCORNER.
 Personally, I like that UI style, but it does some funky UI bug thing if
you drag the status bar instead of the window edge.

I can live without the bug.. especially since I''ll likely be passing my
app
onto other testers. ;)

Cheers!  Paul.

That sounds like a bug in FOX itself, not the FXRuby layer. If it''s
important, I''d try posting to the FOX mailing list to see if anyone
has a workaround.

You can see the bug using the button.rb example program.

Change "DECOR_ALL"  to:
"DECOR_TITLE|DECOR_STRETCHABLE|DECOR_CLOSE"

Now, when you resize the window using the status bar drag-corner (the first
time), it stops at the minimum size to show all the elements. (good)

Drag the status bar corner again, and I see the window shrinks within the
window.  It looks ugly. (not good)

I''m using an older version of Fox (1.6.28) and FXRuby (1.6.12) and I
don''t
have the time right now to try the example on newer/more recent versions.
 I''d like to, but I''m pressed for time to finish my current
project.  If I
can, I''ll try it out on newer builds later - maybe in a few weeks.

Thanks for the feedback about the mailing list.

Cheers.
