Cannot set the height of property inspector

[dunbarx]

OK. Fine.

I am going to try, again, to migrate to 8.

Anyone know how to set the height of the property inspector? I have a control with a custom property that is a list of a few dozen lines. I would love to see it. As it stands, about
3.5 lines appear in a scrolling field. Hey, at least it scrolls.

There is the usual "height" resize tool, but it does not allow me to change the palette height, only the width.

I promise to be less cantankerous in the future.

Maybe.

EDIT.

See, only a few minutes later, and I am pleased that arrays in custom properties are directly viewable in the property inspector. This is good...

Um; thanks to your post I found out the props palette in 8.1.3 can be "fattened" but it cannot be lengthened; which seems ODD.

Tried and failed:

I see room for about a dozen lines at the default size.

Since others have seen this, I filed a bug. But then I saw that Richard Hawkins may have already done so with 17583.

@ Jaque:

My palette only shows a few lines. Barely

I just counted, I see 9.5 lines. I'm in 9.0 though.

The height of the property palette is hard coded by constants.
Without editing several files you can steel a few lines from the props listing for your values field by changing one line:

line 90 of
LC application..../Tools/Toolset/palettes/inspector/editors/com.livecode.pi.customprops.behavior.livecodescript

change constant kValueFieldHeight = 63
to constant kValueFieldHeight = 126
