GadgetHeight/Width, CanvasGadget and Dialogs

[Cyllceaux]

I use my own controls. All of them use the CanvasGadget.

So, my Problem is, I like the DialogManager.

The DialogManager use this

Code: Select all

GadgetHeight(gadget,#PB_Gadget_RequiredSize)
GadgetWidth(gadget,#PB_Gadget_RequiredSize)

for Gadgets to know the required size. Is there a posibility to override or set this for a CanvasGadget? So I can give my own controls a "fixed" initial heigth and with? I don't mean the xml attributes, I really mean this for the gadgets.

1- Use Dummy Text gadget to get the proper dimensions
2- Create your Canvas gadget with these dimensions
3- Free the Dummy text gadget

yes... this is what I do most. But it's not the same.

For example I create a button with images, Text (multi-line) and Styles. It sizes with the images and texts.
My CanvasGadget knows it exact height and width. I cant use the TextGadget for this.

2 new attributes for the canvasgadget could help with this. I will see what can be done

This would be so nice!
