[was Re: RFE - Cygwin setup.exe] My appolgies, seems folks have started thread on this already...
I see 2 ways to overcome the issue of the resizable installer/ package selection dialog size: Option 1) add a button to the bottom of the package selection screen that says 'Zoom' and make it open only the packages selection related stuff in a new modal window that is bigger/resizable. Option 2) rework the whole setup program to be resizable, this can be done using a lot of panels that are aligned something like this (I've done this in Delphi before): +-Form1 --------------------+ |+-P1-alTop----------------+| ||+P3-alClient-++P2-alRight|| ||| "Choose..."|| [Icon] ||| ||+------------++---------+|| |+-------------------------+| |+-P6-alClient-------------+| || || || () Install from Internet|| || () DL from Internet || || () Install from Localdir|| || || |+-------------------------+| |+-P4-alBottom-------------+| || +P5-alRight|| || |[buttons]||| || +---------+|| |+-------------------------+| +---------------------------+ Px is TPanel type, where x is the creation order using a gui. alxxxx is the Align property of the Tpanel object. If I had to choose, I would do option 1 cause it is really easy, and I'm lazy. option 2 would be quite a bit more rework to the way things are I should think. -Garth Northern.CA ===-- http://www.northern.ca Canada's Search Engine On Sat, 28 Sep 2002 10:57:16 -0400 (EDT) Igor Pechtchanski wrote: > > Garth, > > You may start by searching the cygwin and cygwin-apps mailing lists > archives for "resizable setup"... > Igor -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
