stretchable gui function

Sorry for not taking better notes during the skill training.

What was the skill function that would allow the GUIs to be stretchable?

You would nest the hiCreate(float, string, ...) inside the functions if my bad memory serve me right.

    Hi Paul,

    Maybe you are talking about the hiCreateFormLayout() function?  Otherwise you can use the ?attachmentList argument to hiCreateAppForm() to designate if/how a field is stretchable.

    Hope this helps!

    Lawrence.

    I use the hiCreateAppForm, but I dont see the option to make the fields stretchable?

    Does it matter I define the size of the fields?

    You need to use the ?attachmentList option for hiCreateAppForm. This argument takes a list with a value for each field in your form. Please check the documentation for examples.

    Hi Paul,

    I think that you might also have to define the initial size of the form? The maxSize and minSize are helpful in controlling the extent of the stretching - for example you can limit the form to only stretch in one dimension if you get the numbers entered correctly but it can be 'fiddly' to arrange initialSize, minSize and maxSize to work together correctly.

    Hope this helps.

    Lawrence.
