auto size of a group
It seems like there should be an option for groups that says, my size is the minimum rectangle that contains my visible members (as opposed to a fixed size). The current behavior is counter-intuitive for me, but I've adapted to it. It would be nice to have the option. -- D ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

In MC 2.4.3 on WIN XP pro, my groups automatically resize when I change the visible property of controls in the group. For example, if I have three fields in a group stacked vertically, and each field is of a different width, then when I set the visible of the highest field to false, the height of my group automatically drops to enclose the remaining two visible fields (plus, of course, a few pixels around that defines the group area). Similarly, if I set the visible of the widest field to false, then the width of group automatically reduces to a width sufficient to display the widest visible field. Likewise, when I set the visible of these fields back to true, the group auto resizes to a larger size and displays all of the visible controls. miscdas ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: auto size of a group
I do Mac OS X. I haven't done much regarding the visible prop, but when I manually resize (by dragging one of the 8 handles) a control that is in a group to beyond the group rect, the portion of the control outside the group rect is not visible and the group doesn't resize automatically. -- D -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 1:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: auto size of a group Ivers, Doug E writes: It seems like there should be an option for groups that says, my size is the minimum rectangle that contains my visible members (as opposed to a fixed size).

With MC On WIN XP, I edit controls in a group by clicking the group, then from the Group Properties selecting Edit. Then use the handles to drag a control to a new size. Exit editing via the menu selection Edit\Stop editing BG. My Group auto resizes to match the resized control. In fact, using a stack of width 256, I dragged a control beyond the stack edge, then exited group edit mode. I checked the width of the group and it was indeed larger (394) than the stack width (256). So, even when the control size exceeded the size of the stack, the group still auto sized to accomodate the new size of the control. miscdas ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
