[Gambas-user] One control with Expand, one not (Gambas2)

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hope you can help here.

I have a Tab control in my main Form. The Form is divided by an HSplit, 
the Tab control sits on the right. In one of the tabs, there is a 
GridView. This GridView shall expand with all the others. All this has 
been running well, although I did not set the controls' 
Expand-properties to True. Instead it was enough to set the 
HSplit-Expand to True, the rest didn't matter.

First question: why does it run like this? Why doesn't it need Expand to 
be set in all controls which shall expand or at least for all containers?

Now, for some reason I had the idea to set another container/control 
pair over the GridView. If I do so, it is automatically expanded. This 
is a bit tricky now, because this pair should not expand but keep a 
fixed size. How do I tell not to expand this container or control?

Do you understand what I mean?
