[wxruby-users] wxDirDialog and show_modal don't work

[Jonathan Maasland]

You are looking for the fit() method.

 From the docs:
window.Fit(): The Fit() method sets the size of a window to fit around 
its children. If it has no children then nothing is done, if it does 
have children then the size of the window is set to the window's best size.

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_windowsizingoverview.html#windowsizingoverview 

and
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/window.html#Window_fit

ps. frames that resize themselves aren't really considered user-friendly 
either.

Best of luck,
Jonathan
