How to get the size of a custom dockable window

MikeVP

I have a custom session window in which I create a custom dockable window.  If the user changes the size of the dockable window, I would like to save that to an external file so it can be used to restore the size if a new session window is created.

I've searched google, the UI reference and the community posts but can't find anything.  I did see Why does my custom docked form in my layout window ignore the specified dockSizeHint?, but that is 6 years old and I would hope that CCR has fixed the issue (the CCR wasn't listed).

I've tried:
dwin=dwindow( 'dHandle )
dwin~>?
(hiForm hiHandle visibilityProc)

But none of those elements have any information.

How do I find that information?

Also, if there is a good source on dockable windows, can you let me know so I can read up?

    The master CCR is #1038625. It doesn't look as if any progress has been made on it in the intervening years (there are a few duplicates) - it's just never made it to the priority list.

    I suggest that you contact customer support and request that a duplicate is filed on your behalf.

    You can use hiGetFieldInfo to get the dimensions of a given field (it might also work on a layout, I'm unsure and can't try at the moment) you might probably use that to deduce the size of the form

    (This solution works best with layout forms)

    hope this helps
