Thanks, I do agree that the vbox automatically grows based on it's content is a good thing sometimes, i am making use of that default behavior for sure.
However, the constraint based layout is designed so i don't have to manually code changes for the width and height when the parent object is resized... so I would have never expected this behavior nor does it make sense (IMHO). I'll just continue on with what i've done, it's not that complicated, just more work for me :). --Scott --- In [email protected], "Tim Hoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Unless you explicitly set the height and width of a container, it will > automatically measure to include all of it's children; with no scroll > bars.
