I wrote a "SmartGroup" class for FLTK a couple years ago that
specifically addresses adjusting the layout and size of widgets
within the group after localization (or just insertion of run-time
text...) Basically, you use the SmartGroup class to group widgets
that need to be adjusted, and then call the "do_layout" method to
update them, potentially resizing the containing window to account
for the increased widget sizes...
I've put this and some of my other widgets up at:
