Resize object in real time with pane

Status: Already Implemented

Already possible with the 'Scale Objects While Resizing' right-click menu option for panes.

When you define an object to be resized with pane, the object don't resize until you release the mouse button.

This VI Property should do the trick:

Even if you set the "Scale all objects..." property, the FP objects only resize when you release the mouse button.

I agree with Dany that it would be nice if the FP objects resized dynamically as you move the mouse.

You can try using the Scale Object While Resizing property of the pane.

Thanks you jg-code, That do the trick... You need to set it before selecting "Scale object with pane" because when the scroll bar a removed you don't have access to this menu.

Just browsing by (looking for a solution to the exact same question, just not for a table).

I'll just note, that it is not necessary to set this property before defining the behavior of individual objects. It is correct however that you need the FP to have visible scollbars, as this is where you need to right-click to have access to the Pane-contextual menu shown by jgcode (but who would hide the scrollbars during Edit?).

That is if you are using a single pane FP (the default situation). When several panes are present, you can right-click the splitter to access the contextual menu (if you have visible splitters that is.... oh, well!).
