Hi Jerome
Thanks for your advice. The parent morph in question is variable in
width (user discretion), includes several submorphs, including that
for which I would like to calc the maximum "non-impacting" extent,
and uses a layoutPolicy. And yes, that parent has insets... set, too.
So I am a bit hesitant. Will try some stuff.
Thanks again
Alex

[Newbies] How do I find out the maximum extent that a

Hi Alexandre,
My first guess would be:
maxBounds := myMorph owner bounds
myMorph bounds: maxBounds.
and my second guess would be:
necessaryInset := 1
maxBounds := maxBounds insetBy: necessaryInset .
and try for a third guess:
necessaryInset := necessaryInset + 1 .
etc.
And I would use a squeak workspace to find out what I
needed to know. And then I would know it. (Report back
here you results)
Cheers.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Hi all
Question: How do I find out the maximum extent that a
morph can be
set to, without this impacting the current extent of
its owner morph?
Context: trying to set the extent of a sticky note's
summary label to
the maximum possible width, and such that the note's
window (isKindOf
PasteUpMorph) will not be resized.
Thanks in advance
Alex
