# Paned Window Constraints

The Constraints option in the Widget menu provides a way of specifying constraints for children of paned windows.

Select a child widget of the paned window, then call the Constraints option: the Paned Window Constraints dialog will now appear.

Using the dialog, you can specify the minimum and maximum size of the child as displayed within the paned window; you can also specify whether the child can be resized by the user. The Skip adjust resource is to prevent the Paned Window from resizing a child display area when the Pane is itself resized.

For more information, consult the OSF/Motif Programmer's manual.
