I have a custom class extending Panel for drawing lines, which shows an array being sorted. The application does 6 at a time and so there is a Panel ("gridPanel") with a 2x3 GridSizer managing them. Each cell contains another Panel ("arrayBorderPanel") with a 2x1 FlexGridSizer. The top row holds a Panel ("drawPanel" -- a 1x1 GridSizer) with the custom panel centered in it, and the bottom holds several StaticTexts in a Panel ("infoPanel") with 1x3 FlexGridSizer. The column and the top row of each arrayBorderPanel are growable. The infoPanels have growable columns but not rows. The frame expands correctly, with the column of the arrayBorderPanel expanding horizontally but only the top row growing vertically, and the custom panels auto-center. The problem is when the frame is decreased below the original size. In other guis I''ve used the drawPanels shrink vertically but the infoPanels stay fixed. With WxRuby the infoPanels are the first to disappear. I need these to stay put. Right now both drawPanels and infoPanels are added to sizers with a proportion of 0 and the EXPAND flag. I''ve tried giving one or the other a proportion of 1 and/or removing the EXPAND flag from the infoPanel sizer but this doesn''t change anything. I have tried set_min_size on both the infoPanel and its FlexGridSizer but no change there either. Any help appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
