Subject: Ruby/Tk, TkMessage

Hello,

I need to use a Ruby/Tk widget to display some read-only information,
which can be multi-line. I need the widget to be displayed as a
certain size (say, width=100, height=50) even when it doesn't have any
text in it. I would use TkText if there is a way to make it read-only.
I was trying to use TkMessage. But I don't know of a way to set its
size. Following is my code:
msgDisplay = TkMessage.new(lfrm2) do
  text "server messages "
  relief "sunken"  
  width 100
  #height 15  
  pack("side"=>"top", "padx"=>5, "pady"=>5)
end

Is there a way to achieve what I need to do? Can anyone point me to
the right direction?

Thanks very much,
Dandan
