Hi,

Firstly I'm using the Xcu and Athena Widget sets.

My problem is I have a widget that contains another and I want the container to
be the size of the child widget (preferably not smaller, but definitely not
larger). The container is a composite widget. In its Query Geometry method I
return the child's preferred size. However the container widget is still to big.
How do I get around this or should I derive the container from a form widget
instead of a composite widget (I didn't do this as I thought it wasn't worthwile
as the container only ever has one child.)

thanks a lot

bye Katya
