[sdk] unable to set fixed dimensions for a given Dialog element.

[Francisco Merino]

It seems as right now, it's not possible to set fixed height and width to a dialog element. I would love to be able to do this because now I have a dialog element cointaining both a listview and a button and I'm unable to put everything in the right position. I can't see the complete strings which should appear inside the listview, the button overlaps the dialog's title, etc.

[Tim Peeters (tpeeters)]

The dialog automatically determines its size, and it will be different on different screen sizes. Fixed height/width can give problems when changing window/screen sizes. Any ideas from design how to deal with this?

[Jouni Helminen (jounihelminen)]

The buttons in a dialog should be at the bottom of the dialog, not near the title at the top.

Tim is right in the sense that the same app might be ran on wildly different screen sizes, but I think it should be possible for developers to override the default size if they really want to. Either in absolute (xxGU) or relative (80% of screen size) terms.

[Jouni Helminen (jounihelminen)]

this is now possible: set contentWidth/Height
