geometry manager

Post by rinzwind »

Can I temporary disable all automatic resizing for fine tune purposes? Suppress messages works only temporary... if I reenable messages and resize the controls jumps back to the way they were...

No one? Misging feature? Seems quite important.

Hi.

Not sure I understand , but does locking the size and position do the trick?

The geometry manager stores your settings in the object and as long as messages are active it will use the settings to resize or reposition the control. To change the control's size or any other property controlled by the geometry manager, you need to remove the current settings first. Select the control, and in the property inspector's Geometry pane, click the "Remove all" button at the bottom. Then make changes to the control, and finally set up the Geometry Manager again for that object.
