Subject: Re: FXRuby FXText width?

Hi,

First of all, the second parameter in the constructor of FXTextField tells FOX 
how many characters in the textfield should at least be visible.. so 1 is 
kind of small.

Second, if you want to specify the width or height by pixels, you need to pass 
LAYOUT_FIX_WIDTH or LAYOUT_FIX_HEIGHT to the options parameter. (then the 500 
for example will be actually be used for example). Ofcourse most of the time 
its better to say LAYOUT_FILL_X, so that it will take as much space there is 
available.

Hope this helps,

Sander
