I tried both and to no avail. It would seem the only way to do this the way I want is to iterate over the children of the container getting their height and width and adding it up to determine a measured size. In effect, I'm doing my own measure method.
At least it works and I can move forward though. :) --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Try overriding getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth to return 100.
