Hi! I guess the point is that you used a FlowPanel which does not stretch its children. I found out that this is also true for AbsolutePanel.
Thanks! BTW: I wonder why you use this construct: int parentH = dock.getWidgetContainerElement(this).getOffsetHeight(); Why not simply call: doc.getParent ().gettOffsetHeight(); ? The latter code would also be usable for parents that are no DockLayoutgPanel. Is there a special reason? Magnus On 12 Jun., 15:11, "Alejandro D.
