I like the packArgs trick. Also easy to add an arg to the sub for selecting one of the options.

the canvas within this BANG app resizes fine for each of the chosen packArgs.

But pls try this:
* split the PackForget() and pack() over 2 buttons (show, hide) one containing the packForget, the other the pack
* start the app, and resize the main window
* then hit 'hide'

The canvas and mainwindow are not resized.
I seem to be missing the point about the resizing through a call to geometry. Can't find a hint in the docs either.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
