CKEditor-GWT FitLayout

[elirov]

When adding a CKEditor object to a LayoutContainer with a FitLayout, the CKEditor only takes up about 300px height-wise no matter how tall the available LayoutContainer is.

Has anyone been able to get CKEditor to use up 100% of the height of its container under GXT?

What is a CKEditor?
Maybe in this CKEditor code, the height is manually set to 300px?
It is really hard to tell what is the problem without some code...

It's a rich text editor control with a lot more options than the stock GXT rich text editor.

There's a wrapper library for GWT:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-ckeditor/

Here's my code:

package com.espoc.vericle.gwt.xdoc.client.ui;

import com.axeiya.gwtckeditor.client.CKConfig;
public class XDocTemplateEditorWindow extends Window {

  private CKEditor cke = new CKEditor(CKConfig.full);

  public XDocTemplateEditorWindow() {
    setLayout(new FitLayout());
    add(cke);
    cke.setWidth("100%");
    cke.setHeight("100%"); // tried with and without the setHeight/setWidth functions and also tried absolute pixels.  It always sets to the max width and about 300px height or so.
    layout();
  }

  @Override
  public void show() {
    setSize(RootPanel.get().getOffsetWidth() - 40, RootPanel.get().getOffsetHeight() - 40);
    super.show();
    layout(true);
  }
}

cke.setWidth("100%") and setHeight("100%") should not be called, since the layout is already set to FitLayout.

The problem must be with your CKEditor. It must be configured internally with a width of "about" 300px.
Please check the rendered page with FireBug, for example, and try to check where is this set.
Or, you would need to analyse the CKEditor code and look for it.

Yeah.. My first try was without the setHeight/Width, hoping it would just work. I'll give Firebug a try. I was just hoping someone already ran into this or could suggest a good rich text editor (with table and image support) that would just work with GXT.

I'll keep the group posted! Thanks for the suggestion.
