I have been recommended to allow the window of my script to be resized. How would I go about doing this? I presume that there is a tag in the xml file.


Any help would be much appreciated.

The schema doesn't seem to allow resizeable windows...

Edit: After more careful examination, yes it does

code:

---

<Position Width="200" Height="370">       
    <Resizeable Allowed="BothSides">
        <MinWidth>200</MinWidth>
        <MinHeight>370</MinHeight>
    </Resizeable>
</Position>

---

as a sub element of <Window>

Thank you for your help. One more question, though, if I may. How would I get the controls in the window to resize or move with the main window?

Thank you again,

yep, nice question rob_botch.... i want to be able to resize the window i made... waiting for an answer.

there should be (in future relase if not now) some events for window OnEventWindowIdResize(oldsize, new size)
and a way to resize elements in scripts, it will be great.

example of auto resizing element:

code:

---

<Element xsi:type="LineElement" Id="BottomLine">
    <Position Top="313" Left="1" Width="188" Height="0">
        <Anchor Horizontal="LeftRightFixed" />
    </Position>
    <Color>
        <GlobalColor>label</GlobalColor>
    </Color>
</Element>

---

options for Anchor:
Horizontal
-LeftFixed
-RightFixed
-LeftRightFixed
Vertical
-TopFixed
-BottomFixed
-TopBottomFixed

Thank you for your help. This code works perfectly for me for horizontal stretching, but the vertical element does not apear to work. Is the syntax the same? As in:

code:

---

<Anchor Vertical="TopBottomFixed" />

---

Thank you,


Edit: Sorted now, Thanks!

yes thats the right syntax, ive tested it here and it works fine

example:
you have a window with width 100 and height 200, and an element that is 20 dlg units away from all sides

code:

---

<Window Id="TestWnd" Version="1">
    <WindowTmpl />
    <Position Height="200" Width="100">
        <Resizeable Allowed="BothSides">
            <MinWidth>100</MinWidth>
            <MinHeight>200</MinHeight>
        </Resizeable>
    </Position>
    <Elements>
        <Element xsi:type="FigureElement" Id="Background">
            <Position Top="20" Left="20" Width="60" Height="160">
                <Anchor Horizontal="LeftRightFixed" Vertical="TopBottomFixed" />
            </Position>
            <Figure><Rectangle /></Figure>
            <Fill><PlainColor><BaseColor/></PlainColor></Fill>
       </Element>
    </Elements>
</Window>

---

when this window is resized it will always be 20 dlg units away from all sides.

Thank you, yes it works for me too, now. I was being stupid and putting the Horizontal and Vertical components in separate tags!


Thank you for your help.

There is a bug in the resize algorithm:
if I set to resize only in vertical, it doesn't work unless I put minWidth too...
