Control Size adjustement

[Urs Bögli]

Hi,
I have to arrays, one of clusters, another one of strings, which are
used to name the lines of the array. I want to show the two array in
parallel and so the height of the elemnts of the two arrays have to be
the *same* size. When I change the height with the mouse tip this is not
accurate enough and so I need many tries to reach my goal.

Is there a way to use the scrolls or arrows to change the heigth (or
width) in a way like I can move around controls?
(during development, not programatically)

Thanks

You can select both elements and then look at the FP toolbar. The buttons in the middle are for organizing FP control and one is for resizing. If you click it you will find the bottom left option which will allow you to specify an exact size (as long as this isn't something that's dependant on font size).

Hi Urs

I would do it like this:

1. Create the cluster on the frontpanel and use the grid to size it (set AutoSizing none)

2. Place a string control on the frontpanel and use the grid ot size it the same dimensions as the cluster

3. Put both controls in an array and voilà - they have the same size.

Hope this helps.

Great tst

I always forget this possibility and do it the 'old school' way

Hi Urs,

the simplest thing to do would be this.

Select your Cluster and string element inside the array ( you can do this by pressing shift key and clicking on each with position/size/select tool)

Now in the tool bar(below menu bar, the one on which you have run button), you will find a option resize objects-> maximum width and height. (look at pic attached)

Click on it

Hope this helps

Regards
