Can't reach lower part of the form

Post by Wridmuld »

Hi.

Just started learning wx, and I have a problem with the main form.
I resized it to 580, which is larger then what I can see on my screen.
Interestingly, I can't find out any way of getting to that lower part. I can't even see the status bar I just added.
Anybody got any ideas how to reach that lower part of the form?

Thanks

Go to the property editor and manually enter the height/width you want. Make it something like 100 and then resize as you need to.

Ok thx, but how do I make a form that is larger then what fits in the active wxDev-C++ window?
That was really my question, but I did not ask it clearly enough.

Example to clarify my question:
I am using a computer with 1024x800 resolution. I start wxDev-C++ and make a form. This form is no way near 1024x800. What do I do to make a form that large, while still being able to edit the lower parts of it?
What happens now when I set the size of the main frame to a height larger then the visible part of the workspace window, is that I can't edit the lower part of it.
I have already made a lot of forms, and I am a bit scared I have to do them all over again.
How do I resolve this?

You can try this

Infinite Screen
http://ynea.futureware.at/cgi-bin/index.pl

Its a freeware+opensource desktop scrolling sollution.
Its allows you to enhance windows over the maximum screen size with the 'oversize-tab'
then use the scrolling functions of the tool to see the enhanced window.
Standard is pressing Ctrl+ (moving mouse to the edges) or CtrlShift+ (mouse move) and 4 others.
This should solve this problem, at questions ask the autor of the tool (thats me)
after reading the download page. There are more infos. :)
