Hello,

I want to set the height of xcontrol,but there is a problem when I try to set it by property node of xcontrol container bounds height. Top  and bottom of my control show incomplete.

So,how to set the height of XControl correctly?

Thank you!

The height of an XControl is defined by the visible part of the front panel of the facade.... so this might be the simplest approach for you.

As i take your post, you are trying to resize the instance of the XControl on your front panel. Is that correct? Could you post an examplecode?

 

hope this helps,

you are right!

I am trying to resize the instance of the XControl on my front panel dynamically.

Do you try to resize it because it does not match to your current layout or should it be resized several times?

Yes,the height of XControl is determined by information from DB.

Attached you can find a small example how to get it to work. Please note that i limit the smallest value to 40 because lower heights lead to graphical issues when resizing to larger values again.

So you can see that there are limitations to resizing of XControls depending on the facade of the XControl.

 

hope this helps,

 Lower heights lead to graphical issues when resizing to larger values again !It is precisely this kind of problem I have encountered!

If you have to make the controller smaller than the current version is able without creating the graphical issue, you have to change the facade.vi to solve this. Please note that this is a modification to the XControl and should be done by the person who created the XControl.
