panel with fixed height

[daniel@winarhi.ro]

Hello

I cannot make (and I've tried in countless ways) to make a form with 2 horizontal panels, the top one with fixed height (150) and the second one filling the rest of the form. What I think that should work is something like:

 

object UniForm1: TUniForm1

  Left = 0

  Top = 0

  ClientHeight = 695

  ClientWidth = 1021

  Caption = 'UniForm1'

  BorderStyle = bsNone

  WindowState = wsMaximized

  OldCreateOrder = False

  MonitoredKeys.Keys = <>

  AlignmentControl = uniAlignmentClient

  Layout = 'border'

  PixelsPerInch = 96

  TextHeight = 13

  object UniPanel1: TUniPanel

    Left = 360

    Top = 40

    Width = 256

    Height = 128

    Hint = ''

    CreateOrder = 1

    TabOrder = 0

    Caption = 'UniPanel1'

    LayoutConfig.Height = '150'

    LayoutConfig.Region = 'north'

  end

  object UniPanel2: TUniPanel

    Left = 360

    Top = 208

    Width = 256

    Height = 128

    Hint = ''

    CreateOrder = 2

    TabOrder = 1

    Caption = 'UniPanel2'

    LayoutConfig.Region = 'center'

  end

end

 

But it doesn't workt. The top panel is always of some fixed height but not the height which I specify. The only way to change the height of the top panel is to put some percentage in LayoutConfig.Height, (like LayoutConfig.Height ='20%') but this is not what I want. I want a fixed height.

I've tried also with vbox and with anchor layout but it doesn't work either.

 

Someone help me please.

Thank you,

Daniel

OK....found a solution:

 

-the form's layout: anchor

-the top panel: LayoutConfig.Anchor = '100%' and the Height = 150 (this is for the fixed height which I wanted for the top panel).

-and the not intuitive at all solution for the bottom panel: LayoutConfig.Anchor = '100% 0'

 

Also the panels CreateOrder must be set from top to bottom.

 

It doesn't work for browser window resize but is better than nothing.

If someone has a better approach please reply.
