Shell size

[domfe]

Hi.
I'm playing with XWT and the size of Shell widget. Why the size setting in the editor isn't
reflected at runtime?

Thank you.

In the corresponding Java file, comment out the call to centerInDisplay().

The XWT engine will then automatically pack the shell to the minimum size needed to contain all of the widgets.

Ok for centerInDisplay.
But I don't want the minimum size, but the size I see in the Designer when I drag the border
of my Shell component.

Thanks.

It does not appear that XWT itself supports this (at least it appears to ignore any width/height settings and just packs everything.

The work around would be to set the size in Java code in the corresponding Java file (using a call to setSize() or setBounds()).
