setMinWidth and setWidth100 does not work together

[bc48]

I want a widget that resizes to the size of the screen (using setWidth100), but cannot be smaller than 1000 using setMinWidth(1000). It doesn't seem to work how I want it to though. It ignores the setMinWidth and just resizes regardless.

Is there any other way I can achieve what I want?

Howdy, I'm trying to achieve a similar effect. Have you had any luck?

What I'm trying to do is much like the showcase's sample fullscreen application. A Window is used to contain everything and is maximised to fit the browser's space, but if the browser (and hence Window) is resized past a certain point the Window stops getting smaller forcing the browser's scroll bars to show instead.

Hi, Have you solved that problem.. i am also facing similar issue in my app.... i.e. i have set setwidth100().. but i need to maintain min width for all layout so i set setminwidth but its not working what shall i do ?

Add one more requester to the list. I also spent hours today trying to achieve this, but in vain. Good to know that I'm not the only one having this problem.

Surprisingly, there's no simple solution to such a common requirement.

how can i use setMinWidth , with setwidth100() Or "*" ??????

[Isomorphic]

Hi All
We've made this change in the 3.0 branch (will be present in nightly builds in that branch going forward). If a percentage width is specified that would shrink below a specified minWidth, the minWidth will now be respected.

Thanks for fast reply ,
i would like to ask , after this changes can i use this to achieve minimum resolution , so i will set Width to 100% or "*" to the application (page) and setMinWidth(1000) and this will show the scrolllbar when the the width of the page is less than 1000 ?

just like this thread http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=19214



thanks in advance !

[Isomorphic]

If you have a component with width specified via 'setWidth100()', and minWidth specified via "setMinWidth(1000)", the widget will be sized to the width of the page, unless the page is < 1000 px wide, in which case the widget will size to 1000px wide.
Native page level scrollbars would be introduced unless they were suppressed in the HTML via style="overflow:hidden" on your body tag or similar.

Thanks , very mach for fast response ,

its now working very well and the scrollbars now appear as i want , but i need more info about the 3.0 branch build what is the big differences between it and 2.5 build , should i make some changes to my application to make it consistent with 3.0 build ? is it save to move from 2.5 to 3.0 ? .


Thanks in advice .

This issue still appears on FF 5.0

Has this been resolved? Using the current version of SmartGWT 3.0 GA, ie., -->

SmartClient Version: SC_SNAPSHOT-2011-12-05/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2011-12-05)
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1

we still save this problem in Mozilla Firefox 4, Chrome 17.0.963.56 m, and IE 8 under the following conditions:

1) we use a HLAyout
2) we add components to it
3) we add teh HLaout to a VLayout.

Code is as below:

public class HlIAHeader extends HLayout {

	/**
	 * 
	 */
	public HlIAHeader() {
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
		this.setHeight("2%");
		this.setMinWidth(1600);
		this.setWidth("100%");
	this.setBackgroundColor("yellow");
		//this.setWidth(3000);
		//this.setOverflow(Overflow.AUTO);
	this.setOverflow(Overflow.VISIBLE);

		final  Img imgLogo = new Img("ia_logo_48.png", 119, 75);
		this.addMember(imgLogo);

		final  Label lblWelcomeMsg = new Label("<b>(v7.23)</b>");
		//final  Label lblWelcomeMsg = new Label("<b>Welcome back, Dr. Smith. </b>");
		//lblWelcomeMsg.setWidth("150");
		lblWelcomeMsg.setWidth("450");
		lblWelcomeMsg.setHeight("40");
		lblWelcomeMsg.setLayoutAlign(VerticalAlignment.TOP);

		final Img imgLogOut = new Img("icons/LogOut.png",32,32);  
		//imgLogOut.linkHTML("href=\"<spring:url value=\"/j_spring_security_logout\" htmlEscape=\"true\" />\">Logout\"");
		//imgLogOut.linkHTML("\"<spring:url value=\"/j_spring_security_logout\" htmlEscape=\"true\"");
		imgLogOut.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
			
			@Override
			public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
				System.out.println("Logging out");
				Window.Location.assign("/BuiltInDS/j_spring_security_logout");	
			}
		});
		


		LayoutSpacer layoutSpacer = new LayoutSpacer();
		this.addMember(layoutSpacer);
		this.addMember(lblWelcomeMsg);
		this.addMember(imgLogOut);
	       
	}

and

	final VLayout vlRoot = new VLayout();

				vlRoot.setLeft("0%");
				vlRoot.setTop("0%");
				vlRoot.setWidth("100%");
				vlRoot.setHeight("100%");
				//vlRoot.setWidth(3000);
				//vlRoot.setHeight(3000);
				vlRoot.setMembersMargin(5);
				vlRoot.setLayoutTopMargin(10);
				vlRoot.setLayoutBottomMargin(5);
				vlRoot.setLayoutLeftMargin(10);
				vlRoot.setLayoutRightMargin(10);
				vlRoot.setOverflow(Overflow.VISIBLE);
				vlRoot.setBackgroundImage("bkg.jpg");
				vlRoot.setStyleName("ia_bkg_img");
				vlRoot.setOverflow(Overflow.VISIBLE);
				//vlRoot.setsr
				// vStack.setBackgroundColor("#B0C4DE");

				final HLayout hlIAHeader = new HlIAHeader();
				vlRoot.addMember(hlIAHeader);

Our current thought is to workaround the problem by setting min widths in the members of the HLayout and then to add a layoutspacer. This seems to work, but is this the right approach? Presumably, this is a bug in the "setminwidth" method?
