RE: control size of a TGGroupFrame

Hello Patrick,

I just tried to use a TGGroupFrame with the following macro:

void test_group()
{

   TGMainFrame *fExtrema_f = new TGMainFrame(gClient->GetDefaultRoot(), 150, 150);    TGGroupFrame *fExtrema_min = new TGGroupFrame(fExtrema_f, "min", kVerticalFrame);

   fExtrema_min->AddFrame(new TGLabel (fExtrema_min, new TGString (" Abscissa:")), new TGLayoutHints (kLHintsTop));
   fExtrema_min->AddFrame(new TGLabel (fExtrema_min, new TGString (" skdjfhks:")), new TGLayoutHints (kLHintsTop));
   fExtrema_min->AddFrame(new TGLabel (fExtrema_min, new TGString (" lghkjglp:")), new TGLayoutHints (kLHintsTop));
   fExtrema_f->AddFrame(fExtrema_min, new TGLayoutHints (kLHintsCenterX | kLHintsCenterY));
   fExtrema_f->MapSubwindows();
   fExtrema_f->Resize();
   fExtrema_f->MapWindow();

And I obtain something like the picture in attachment. If it is not what you get, or if you cannot solve your problem with your own code, could you provide a short running macro showing the problem you have?

Cheers, Bertrand.

Subject: [ROOT] control size of a TGGroupFrame

Hello,

I have an object:
TGGroupFrame *fExtrema_min = new TGGroupFrame (fExtrema_f, "min", kVerticalFrame) ;

Then I fill it like:
fExtrema_min -> AddFrame (new TGLabel (fExtrema_min, new TGString (" Abscissa:")), new TGLayoutHints (kLHintsTop)) ;

But I cannot control the size of the Frame ! For example, like it is it is a lot too large.

My tries to resize fail

thank for your help
