automatically resizing widgets in tabs? [message #9889]

Hi, I'm a newbie to U++ (looks nice so far - great work!).I've been screwing around with Motif, Mosaic, Qt and MFC in the past and finally landed here.

Here's my question:
I have created a tabbed layout with a user defined drawing area (and a bunch of other controls in their own layout) on one tab.
I would like to resize this drawing area to the maximum space available whenever the user resizes the top window. so far I have been unable to do this (the 'springs' in the layout editor don't seem to do anything) . The drawing area just won't expand/shrink beyond the size I give it in the layout editor.
And I havent really grasped the logic behind 'logical coordinates' yet. The whole concept seems confused/confusing (or I'm just being stupid, which is more likely Very Happy

)

Otherwise I Like the GUI and IDE very much. The only thing I'd really like to see improved is the manual (at least have a native speaker look over the text and add more cross-links to other chapters). Whenever I try to look something up it seems that the most crucial sentences got garbled in an attempt at literal translation by the authors.

Usability for people looking for a GUI-package lives and dies by how well the manual is written (because they have to learn HOW to use it before they CAN use it - a fact often forgotten by the developers). It would be a shame if all your great work wouldn't get used just because MFC and (especially) Qt are documented way better.

Make sure you call SizePos() with the dialogs you use inside the tabs. Like:

tabs.Add(aDlg1.SizePos(), t_("Tab 1"));
tabs.Add(aDlg2.SizePos(), t_("Tab 2"));
tabs.Add(aDlg3.SizePos(), t_("Tab 3"));
