I see in the old-school layouts that it was possible to use #hResizing: {#ButtonSpec. ... #hResizing:. #spaceFill... but I'm not sure how to do that now. I tried unsuccessfully: SpecLayout composed newRow: [ :spec | spec newColumn: [ :col | col add: #myLabel; send: #hResizing: withArguments: { #shrinkWrap } ] width: 50; add: #myModel ] height: 30; yourself.

UI.. how many battles lost on this field.. :) I yet to see a framework which would allow to specify layout (in declarative style) in exact way how user wants it to be. The problem is, that users always want something different than framework proposes :) This is the nature of UI. On 24 April 2013 00:36, Sean P. DeNigris <sean@clipperadams.com> wrote:

Yes! While we're figuring things out, I feel like there /has/ to be some easy way to dig into Morphic until Spec supplies what's needed. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-e-g-hResizing-tp4683208p4683212.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Here shrinkWrap will not work since the SpecLayout defines an absolute layout for every widget. Moreover it's a bit weird since you then specify the height of the column :) If you want to tackle (a bit) this problem ,you may use extent: to do something Adding different layout would also be a solution, but it will require some work :) Ben On Apr 24, 2013, at 12:36 AM, Sean P.

Okay, so there's no way currently to do something like shrinkWrap? It seems that there has to be a mechanism in Spec that provides an easy way to get to lower level Morphic things like this, at least until we flesh out exactly what needs to be supported to cover the use cases.

#height was going to the row; it was just formatted confusingly Benjamin Van Ryseghem-2 wrote

In other words, when something changes, manually change the extent to match the contents, simulating shrinkWrap? Benjamin Van Ryseghem-2 wrote

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Will you say more? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-e-g-hResizing-tp4683208p4683425.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Here it's not that trivial, because for #shrinkWrap to make sense, it means that the layout is not a PorportionalLayout, but something more elaborated.

ok, my bad :)

Yes, it;s hawkish, but may work. Otherwise you could even rebuild the layout. More hawkish :s

One could have something like SpecTableLayout composed add: ... or SpecMyStrangeLayout composed add: ⦠But then you have to implement it :) (Should be that complicated though, but still it takes time ^^) Ben
