Compartments to fit children [message #237323]

Hi,

Does anybody now the solution to the following problem:

I have a parent component which stores it's children in a compartment -
how can i make the parent component fit its children (it needs to resize
when accepting new children)??

The whole thing works if i create the parent component with one click, but
if i outline the parent component while creating it then the parent
component keeps the given dimensions and creates a scroll bar within if
the child size is greater then parent size.

I'll take any ideas, i'm banging my head with this one...

Thank you

You could try to set 'preferred size' in your figure descriptor for your
node!
I did a quick test and it seams to work ok!

let me know how you get on,
hope this helps,
Gary

Thank you,

I've all ready done that, but unfortunately it isn't working.
Here is a video that more accurately describes the situation:

You could try override the getMinimumSize() to return the preferred size.
Something like:
@Override

public Dimension getMinimumSize(int hint, int hint2) {

return super.getPreferredSize(hint, hint2);

}

From you video I see that you are explicitly setting the size. If you
select "Auto Size" from the toolbar, your figure would expand out. The
width and height constraints need to remain -1, -1 for the preferred size to
accomodate all the children.

... or

@Override

public Dimension getMinimumSize(int hint, int hint2) {

return getPreferredSize();

}

Hi James, THANK YOU!!

I've overridden the getMinimumSize() method in the parent figure
descriptor - and now everything works - thank you.

In the last couple of days i've tried a lot of, now i see, complicated
things - but this works just fine..

Thanks
