Set the W/L of an undocked/floated window?

Hi, when undocking a docked window (ie by dragging the title bar of the docked window to undock it) is it possible to pre-set the W/L dimensions that the resulting floated/undocked window will appear at? Currently anytime a dock window is undocked in this fashion it defaults to a specified height and width, each time requiring a manual resize to see the full extent of the form within it.

 

Thanks and regards,

B

    If you're just undocking with the built-in icon on the window, all that will happen is that the first time it will be the size of the docked window. If you then resize it, subsequent undocks will retain the previous size.

    I've handled something like this with a specific bindkey which undocks the assistant and resizes it (the first time - setting a flag on the dock window so I know it's been resized using hiResizeWindow once only). It rather depends on what you are hoping to achieve, I guess...
