Set minimum size of window?

In my program i want to set a minimum size of the window.
As i don't want the user to be able to set as small window as on the picture.
Tried to set WA_MinWidth,400,WA_MinHeight,200. But nothing happens,any ideas????

@Antique

That pic is 395x400. Perhaps you just need to set the numbers larger?

@MickJT

I've tried setting different values,nothing happens. Even tried the WA_MaxWidth. Nothing happens with that aswell... Hmmmm.

@Antique

Ahh. You're gonna have to wait until someone comes on who actually knows some C programming then! I thought i'd just throw my suggestion out there incase it was something extremely simple.

Looks like you need to set CHILD_MinWidth on one of the objects, possibly the root layout...

Thanks,that did the work.

@Antique

Don't forget that if someone (a user, for instance) changes the system font type or size, the window minimum size will also change. Don't use a fixed MinWidth/MinHeight, you should calculate a width/height based on the current system font.

@Antique

It is sometimes useful to set a minimum width of your buttons , to prevent layout changes that cause button image and text overlap (like your picture shows). This is done using the BUTTON_DomainString tag. If you specify, for example,

GA_Text, "Button",
BUTTON_DomainString, "Minimum width",

the button will always be wide enough to display the text "Minimum width", using the current preferences font.
