Re: How to dynamically change the window's layout and size ?

[John Daker]

I dont know if it is the right place to ask, since I'm new to ncurses
and cannot find any place discuss programming with ncurses, so forgive
me if it's not.

My program has a window layout like :

              100% * Konsole's length
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+                                                    +     20% * Konsole's high
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+                                                     +
+                                                    +       80% *
Konsole's high

+                                                     +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


What I'm doing now if something like this: hard-code

getmaxyx(stdscr, rows, cols);
newwin.....

If I resize Konsole, this app wont change it's layout.

What's the technique?

Would it be possible to show some sample code?

Thanks.
