I'm writing a widget application which displays a daytimer page on the screen. I'm using the Paned widget which contains 30 Box widgets. Each box contains a label, an ascii string, and a button. When the user types into the string it will wrap to multiple lines when needed and the string widget will grow vertically causing the box to grow. What I want is the paned widget to also grow to accomodate the expaned box. But, no, it decides to shrink the last box instead. I've set *allowResize to True, and *resizable to True. No go. I've even set up a callback on the ascii source widget, check the box size and set the paned widget's height if the box changes size. But, the paned widget will not resize and the height resource doesn't change. Any ideas on how to get a complex widget to grow? Is this a bug or a feature? Many thanks in advance..
