dhtmlxLayout Suggestion

I have a suggestion for the dhtmlxLayout control.

It would be really neat to be able to specify min and max width and height limits for each of the cells in the layout.
So you would be able to collapse/stretch the cell - but only so far.
As soon as the cell reached the min or max width or height, it would stop collapsing/stretching.
Sensible defaults would be 0 for the min - equivalent to clicking the "collapse" button itself.
And the max default would be set to the maximum available height/width for that cell (which I'm sure you calculate anyway).

It's just I can see a situation whereby you might want to prevent a user from shrinking (or growing) a particular part of the layout beyond a certain size (obviously, if they had the "collapse" button available they would be able to override the minimum - the min and max would only be relevant for when the user was dragging).

Problem confirmed. Functionality will added in future release.
