Resize Window in Panel

Hi,

Most of the windows, I open in the panel can be dragged and also horizontally and vertically resized.

Just came across few windows, which I can drag but the arrows do not show to resize these?

Any advise on how to trigger these arrows would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Peter

Post the relevant Windownn section of the panel's panel.cfg file.

Hi Tom,

 

This just opens a note pad (sheet.bmp) no gauges involved:

[Window21]

file=sheet.bmp

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=357,751

position=3

visible=1

ident=111

sizeable=0

zorder=100

 

Tried sizeable=1 no luck

I can size it with sizeable=1 or that line removed altogether. I used a 357 x 751 pixel bitmap.

Hi Tom,

this is weird, tried everything including using GPS (which is resizable) figures to no avail.

This is just a curiosity what could be causing the sizing arrows not to show up. Perhaps absence of the gauges.

As mentioned, not essential just tried to crack another FS9 mystery:)

Cheers

I had no gauges on my sub panel, just copied and pasted your section into my cfg file. Perhaps it has something to do with another part of the cfg file? (I have no idea.)

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for looking into this.

I found out what is preventing the resizing. It is the picture (bmp) in the panel. Changing the picture into standard rectangle (sheet test.bmp in my case) fixed it and the sizing arrows showed. I stopped short of figuring out why the picture does it. But at least got the solution.

[Window21]

file=sheet test.bmp

size_mm=357,751

position=3

visible=1

sizeable=1

ident=111

zorder=100

 

Cheers

Good to know, thanks.
