size of form parts

Classic Servoy

Hi

A year ago someone asked in this forum if it would be possible to access the height of a form part (e.g. the height of the footer). The answer was no.

Is this still so? Or is it possible to set the height dynamically from within a method?

Thanks and regards

That was me, but to this day, it’s not possible.

Some bodyparts could be accessed though a plugin, but it’s a dirty was to get there and it only works in the rich client.

Hi Paul

Thank you for your reply concerning the access of body part attributes.

In our application we defined the layout of the windows: all forms should contain a header, a body and a footer. And we defined width and height for them. Instead of setting up these values in each form, I would prefer to initialize these values dynamically. E.g. call a method on load, defined once in a basic module. And whenever we decide to change the layout of our forms, I only had to change the values in one method.

Any other hints are very welcome.
Thanks and regards

As IU said: currently not possible.

I think it was noted down as a feature requests about a year ago.

You might wanna check up on that.
