[comp.windows.open-look] Layout of Child Windows

tjcm@stl.stc.co.uk (04/09/91)

OK, somebody *must* have come across this problem before. I am using
a simple layout tool to position a number of panel and canvas
windows in a base frame. This is great, I position all the child windows
exactly where I want them and generate code to create all the windows
and their panel items.
When I compile and run the program the frame is displayed and the child
windows are displayed in the desired position within the frame until
the last child window is displayed when for some reason xview decides
to resize and reposition a number of the child windows. Disaster!

Is there any way to stop the frame reorganising the child windows?

(I don't use any relative positioning of panel items or canveses,
everything is explicitly positioned and sized using XV_{X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT}
None of the child windows overlap).

Any help appreciated,
