How to make a skill form be resizable

Hi,

Recently I want to make a skill form to be resizable, cause there is a list in the form, and I want to resize the form to let the list show more items.

I read the axlFormFlexDoc, and found maybe this canbe completed with :FLEXMODE edgegravity 

But somehow, the list or other items always align to the right bottem to the form when I try to grag the form to be lagger. Then the left part of the form is empty, cause the items are all in the right part.

Below are my code and the form capture:

FLEXMODE edgegravity
FLEX refresh_list 0 0 0 1
FLEX save_list 0 0 0 1

Thanks!

    Hi NNNNNNing

    You're on the right track but, in order to get what you're describing, I believe your code should be like this: 

    FLEX refresh_list 0 0 1 0
    FLEX save_list 0 0 1 0

    Let me know if this fixes your issue.

    Thanks a lot for your kindly help! But unfortunately it doesn't work. It still locked to the right and bottom edge. I checked the article, and made some changes to the code, but it still doesn't work Disappointed

    FLEXMODE edgegravity
    FLEX refresh_list 0 0 1 0
    FLEX save_list 0.5 0 1 0
