WLineEdit has wrong size
Added by Ulf Johnsson 4 months ago
Hi!
When I use WLineEdit:s they get the wrong size, if I for example resize them to (20, 40) they get
an acctual size on the screen off (26,46). The "offset" seems to always be 6px in each direction.
Is this a bug, or am I missing some secret setting ?
Regards,
Ulf Johnsson

Hey,
resize() sets a size to the inner area, excluding padding and borders (yes that's confusing but that's CSS).
The 6 bits offset you see is this padding and borders (and this is actually browser-dependent).
For the purpose of layout managers, Wt contains the methods Wt::WWidget::boxBorder() and boxPadding() which
contain these offsets.
Alternatively, in CSS3 (supported already by some browsers), you use the CSS box-sizing mode which makes
the width and height apply to the entire width including border and padding, but this will not work on
all browsers.

Got it working nicely with boxPadding and boxBorder :)
Thanks!
