Mixing sizing hints in a single object.



Q. Here's an object I'm defining. It's not sizing correctly.
   I want it to expand the height to fit the parent, but it's
   not working.

   @object FFileSelectorClass MyFileSelection = {
       GFSI_destination = process;
       GFSI_notificationMsg = MSG_MY_PROCESS_UPDATE_X;
       ATTR_GEN_FILE_SELECTOR_CREATOR_MATCH = {
           MY_LIST_ITEM_TOKEN, 0
       };
       ATTR_FFS_DOCUMENT_DIR = MY_LIST_DIRECTORY;
       HINT_EXPAND_HEIGHT_TO_FIT_PARENT;
       HINT_FIXED_SIZE = {
           SST_PIXELS | 0, 127
       };
   }

A. Are you sure you want to use HINT_FIXED_SIZE? Did you mean to use
   HINT_MAXIMUM_SIZE instead? The reason I ask is you set up
   HINT_FIXED_SIZE to fix the height at 127 pixels (because SST_PIXELS
   is the default) and then used HINT_EXPAND_HEIGHT_TO_FIT_PARENT,
   which will have no effect because the HINT_FIXED_SIZE height setting
   will override the expand height hint.
