Re: Fixed Size Setup App = Stupid

[Randall R Schulz <rschulz at sonic dot net>]

Joe,

And if you look back over the history of repeated posts on exactly this 
request / suggestion, it is far from a matter of res-hacking or simply 
enabling resizability or the maximize box. Overall size changes must be 
propagated to all the individual UI elements, including the control 
placements and the column widths in the table display.

Perhaps you're spoiled by Java's layout managers that handle this for 
many common cases. As I understand it, the Win32 GUI API and toolkits 
don't have a counterpart and GUI writers have to handle all the size / 
layout change propagation and it can get pretty tedious.
