The set_size feature of Fl_Window is used too seldom. Maybe it would be used more if there were two fields for minimal width and height in the Properties dialog.

See: http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.general+v:13802

I assume you mean Fl_Window::size_range()?

We could easily add another button called "Set Minimum Size" for windows that are resizable.  The effect would be to call size_range(w(), h(), Fl::w(), Fl::h()), so that the FLUID size is the minimum size for the window in question.

Thoughts?

Oh.. yes, I meant set_range :)

And the feature would be great like you explained it.

... I must have the short time memory of a goldfish ...
I meant: "Yes, I mean -->size_range<--"   :)

I added the screenshot "interface_builder_min_max_dialog_size.png", which shows how it is done on OSX, XCode. (See on the middle of the dialog)

Min and Max sizes of the window are optional, if 0 then ignored. There are buttons to set the current size to minimum and/or maximum... IMO very nice :)

OK, I have implemented min size and max size, plus two 'set' buttons. Unless we really really need that, I'd like to skip the width increment, height increment and aspect ration parameters of that function. Just because it is a lot of work and it is 1 am in Germany - yawn.

Yipeee!! :) Thanky you so much! I am sure you had a very good sleep after that. This feature will be the end of dialogs that are squeezed beyond recognition...
I was only thinking of minimum. Now, you did minimum and maximum.. So my feature request is at least gone true doubly :)
Personally, I think that the min/max size parameters are enough for the FLUID UI. From now on, the dialog creating people will know about FLTKs cool dialog resizing features. And if their appetite is whettend and they want something more fancy like increments and aspect ratios they will look into the documentation.

Thank you,
-Alessandro
