[Gambas-user] Window size fitting

[Bruce Steers]

No to window scrollbars , windows do not have that they must be added.
ScrollView can be a pain when just how AutoResize, Expand and Arrangemenet
work and effect objects isn't FULLY understood.
(I do not claim to fully understand this either and often have problems
making a whole window scroll)
It's probably a case of playing with the AutoResize/Expand/Arrangement
properties of the ScrollView/Window/Objects.

Personally I think you need an alternative layout.
Having so many controls it's bigger than your screen isn't really ideal.

My suggestions would be one of the following....
* Make all the controls smaller.
* Handle all your fields in a GridView or something else with a built in
scrollbar.
* make a TabPanel and split the fields into 2 pages
