Small Dialogs

[evstevemd]

Hi,
first let me put little disclaimer that am not sure if this is wxWidgets behaviour on Windows or wxCrafter issue.
I use wxC to generate dialogs which works fine in Linux. I have the size I put and works ok. In Windows however, every time they shrink to fit widgets populated in it.
If I put size it does not get honored so they look ugly under windows. Here is a simple example

Two are samples one in wxC and another in app

On wxC designer

On real app

TIA,
S.

You need to set the minimum size for the dialog

Hi Eran,
I have tried that but it doesn't get honored. Sorry I did not mention that.

Two things here:
1. wxCrafter calls GetSizer()->Fit() to ensure that all widgets are visible (hard coded dialog size is bad, especially when write cross platform application)
2. You can set a size to one of the internal widgets (e.g. a Notebook control) and the GetSizer()->Fit() will take this into account

I will try to set Size of one widget and see what happens.
Thanks

So I found the issue. Its wxPersistence that was putting its size. I will have to disable it
Thanks.
