fxruby users - May 2007 - FXMDIChild shrinkwrap to content

How can I get a FXMDIChild to shrinkwrap to its content?

Here''s what I''m doing now:

   def create(*)
     self.height = maxChildHeight + 30
     self.width = maxChildWidth + 10
     super
   end

This works, but I''m not crazy about manually adjusting for (apparently)
frame and title bar sizes.

This is only marginally better, but I think you could instead do:

    self.height = defaultHeight + maxChildHeight
    self.width = defaultWidth + maxChildWidth

The defaultHeight and defaultWidth return values should take care of
the dimensions of the window''s decorations (title bar, etc.)

Hope this helps,

Hm, that seems to make the window too big. Doesn''t defaultWidth count 
the (minimum?) width of the children? So, it seems like part of the 
child windows are being counted twice...

That might still be a good idea, though. Maybe I could call 
defaultWidth/defaultHeight before adding child windows, and save that 
away somewhere... nope. defaultWidth always seems to be too big.
