I have an app, that packforgets stuff and repacks it based on user input... Normally the frames and windows will resize automatically to fit whatever I pack and unpack... But if the users manually does a resize, then the auto resizer is off permanently... even if they take an action that causes more stuff to be packed in then fits...

Is there a way I can turn on the auto resizing again? I want the user to be able to resize since some of the info will be in scrolled listboxes, but I don't want to lose the auto if I repack something...

I have tried checking the packpropagate values, but they seem to stay unchanged.

Anyone know how to turn the autoresizer back on... I really just want to remove dead space, or expand for new things... any widget that got expanded by the users resize should stay expanded...

Thanks in advance
