Just update the repository classes and I found the canvas minimumWidth and minimumHeight it´s perfect!

thanks tim!

I did´nt know this functions ‘desiredPercentageWidth / desiredPercentageHeight’, I will try it again.

Another question … is there any class / property, to handle the component´s min/max position? I’m using the Canvas layout (sorry if it isn’t the place) to lay any components.

http://www.aquar.net/canvasDemo.html

To lay the components, the exmple uses the CanvasConstrain, but when the stageWidth is too narrow, I will to stop the position of any components, button2 for example.

It´s possible to control a ‘global’ minSize?

Thanks again!

Hi TIMNHE,

thank you for your comment. I had to refactor the sizes of the components for a better and faster workflow. So there are only explicit getter/setter for desired/maximum/minimum width and height right now. If you want to lay out a component in percentage values, you have to use desiredPercentageWidth/desiredPercentageHeight instead.

Hope this could help you!

Hi Tim, first of all congratulations, I´m lost to much time thinking about to do something like that, great work.

I´m trying your examples and playing a little. In the HBoxTest, I want to simulate a scalable html header where I have for example 3 Items, the first and the third are scalable to the stage, and the second has a fixed width.

I add 3 SimpleComponents, and set its width as percent value:

_box.add( new SimpleComponent( new Size( 1, 50 )));
_box.add( new SimpleComponent( new Size( 250, 100 )) );
_box.add( new SimpleComponent( new Size( 1, 100 )));

Allways remain a white space between the tird object and the right side of the window.
How can I fill the complete width of the stage with these components?

Thanks!
