Hi,
I'm having problems with a grid control which I attach to an xrc 'unknown
control' node. I'd like the grid to appear in its minsize and not be expanded by
the sizer. The attached examples demonstrates the problem. The grid control
appears to be larger than the space the sizer thinks it needs. Therefor it is
partly hidden by the buttons. Why isn't the sizer respecting the grid's minsize?
Any ideas?
Regards, Christian

When a "unknown control" is used in XRC it actually creates a panel to
put into that spot, and then when you use the AttachUnknownControl
method it reparents your control to that panel. So basically there is
an extra window between your grid and the panel that you thought was its
parent.

There is a sizer on that panel, but it looks like it is not behaving as
expected. There is an easy workaround though. After you do the
AttachUnknownControl do something like this:

grid.GetParent().SetMinSize(grid.GetMinSize())

I see. Thanks a lot. I noticed that in addition a grid.Layout() is needed
thereafter.
Btw. can I supress the display of one of the scrollbars in the grid? As this
grid is quite small I always want to display it in its full representation.

ps: I just recieved your book in Japan. I'm pleased that I already knew much of
its content by reading that list and the demo and I really enjoyed the part
concerning MVC.
