Set gui item size

I am creating a gui and I want to set the hiCreateListBoxField to a minimum size

What is the syntax to define the x and y size of the list box?

hiCreateLayoutForm('ForumStretchLayout "Grid"
hiCreateGridLayout('grid
?items list(
list(
hiCreateLabel(
?name 'bigTextLabel
?labelText "<b>Libraries</b>"
)
'row 0 'col 0 'vert_align 'top
)
list(
hiCreateListBoxField(
?name 'bigText
;?prompt "Terminals"
?choices sort(ddGetLibList()~>name nil)
?numRows 10
?multipleSelect t
?doubleClickCB "println(\"BAAAM\")"
)
'row 0 'col 1
)
list('col_stretch 0 0)
list('col_stretch 1 1)
list('row_stretch 0 1)
)
?frame "My frame"
)
)

hiDisplayForm(ForumStretchLayout)

Within the ?items list, add:

list('col_min_width 1 600)
list('row_min_height 0 400)

Of course, pick the size you want. You might also want to add a ?minSize argument to the hiCreateLayoutForm to prevent the form being resized too small (if it's smaller than the minimum row/column size then it will add scrollbars).

If I want to define size, would this be correct

list('col_width 1 600)
list('row_height 0 400)

Big thanks for the info

No. If you want a fixed size, set the col_min_width and row_min_height and set the col_stretch and row_stretch to 0.

The allowed attributes are covered in the documentation for hiCreateGridLayout.
