[Newbies] How do I find out the maximum extent that a morph can be set to, without this impacting the current extent of its owner morph?

[Newbies] How do I find out the maximum extent that a
morph can be set to, without this impacting the
current extent of its owner morph?


Hi Alexandre,


My first guess would be:

maxBounds := myMorph owner bounds
myMorph bounds: maxBounds.

and my second guess would be:
necessaryInset := 1
maxBounds := maxBounds insetBy: necessaryInset .

and try for a third guess:
necessaryInset := necessaryInset  + 1 .

etc.

And I would use a squeak workspace to find out what I
needed to know. And then I would know it. (Report back
here you results)

Cheers.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
