[Gambas-user] Three questions about handling

Bonjour Benoit,

Alright, I'll experiment with them a bit to find out what they can 
actually do here.

Oh, didn't notice that Forms have an Arrange property.

Ok, that might be what I'm looking for. A long time ago I saw that in Qt 
you can insert kinda rubber bands to force the elements in the form to 
follow the form's changing sizes. But I think this isn't implemented in 
Gambas, is it?

:-) That was a bit unclear...

I meant HSplit and VSplit. They do not follow the mouse pixel by pixel 
but jump to their position after you dragged them over a certain 
distance. What I wanted to know is whether it is possible to influence 
the width of the jumps or just reducing it to 1 pixel so it follows the 
mouse fluently.

Best regards,
