Segmented Control wont resize

A segmented control cannot be set to align with the window edges
So when a window is resized, the segmented control does not.
Setting the control width manually doesnt seem to do anything.

We have to manually resize the segments, then call ResizeSegmentsToFit which implies that the segments are changing , not the control?

Making it properly lockable, and having a property ‘resize segments to fill parent’ should be enough, shouldnt it?

Yes.

Thread about this recently I think

SegmentedButton.ResizeSegmentsToFit is misleading

The name suggests that it will resize the contained segments to fit the size of the segmentedButton control. However it does NOT resize the contained segments, it resizes the control. Suggest renaming function to “segmentedButton.resizeControlToFitSegments”. Before I file a feature request, any thoughts?

Interesting.
But surely the control should obey layout instructions so that the control resizes automatically.

Then an option to have the segments make themselves equal to
control.width / numberofsegments

I can see a use for resizeControlToFitSegments but since these are methods, there is scope for both to exist.
