Given a Wt::WHBoxLayout with two WT::WPanels in it. How do I force the panels to be the same size?

Added by Peter-Frank Spierenburg about 9 years ago

Here is the constructor for a very simple WApplication subclass.

Application::Application(const Wt::WEnvironment& env) : WApplication(env)
{
    Wt::WHBoxLayout* rootLayout = new Wt::WHBoxLayout();
    root()->setLayout(rootLayout);

    Wt::WPanel *lp = new Wt::WPanel();
    lp->setCentralWidget(new Wt::WText("This panel is larger."));
    rootLayout->addWidget(lp);

    Wt::WPanel *rp = new Wt::WPanel();
    rootLayout->addWidget(rp);
}

Can someone explain what I need to do to this code to make the lp and rp Wt::WPanels the same size?

Hey,

I believe you need to set a preferred size for the WPanels, e.g.

    lp->setWidth("50%");
    rp->setWidth("50%");

In addition, you may want to place the WText in a WScrollArea, so that the contents will scroll if needed. See: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/classWt_1_1WBoxLayout.html#details.
