A small comment with regard to the Spec booklet: Some chapters have not yet been worked on, but the layout chapter is done so I heartily recommend it!

Hi,

you normally control the (relative) sizes through the layout, e.g.

ui := DynamicComposableModel new.

ui instantiateModels: #(text TextInputFieldModel btn1 ButtonModel btn2 ButtonModel).

ui btn1 label: 'Button 1'.
ui btn2 label: 'Button 2'.

layout := SpecColumnLayout composed
newRow: [ :row |
row
add: #text;
add: #btn1 width: 60;
add: #btn2 width: 60
] height: ComposableModel toolbarHeight;
newRow: [ :row | ].

ui openWithSpecLayout: layout.

If you want want more details, I suggest you read the Spec Booklet https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/BuildingUIWithSpec/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/SpecBooklet.pdf

A lot of effort has been put into it recently to update it, so it should be up-to-date.

I'm trying to build a toolbar widget that contains two fixed width buttons, a
variable width textInputBox followed by two more fixed width buttons. I'm
not sure how to mix fixed and variable width widgets.

Can someone give me an idea on how to do this?

Thanks,
