I have attached a defect screen that I can not delete.

In practice, when the panels move because of the responsive, the center panel does not lengthen automatically
what settings should be given to function properly?


I tried to set on the AutoSize Height true panel but I get results that the forms that appear in this central panel do not come out .

Pasquale,

AutoSize.Height is the correct property to set (True).

Is the problem the bottom panel overlapping the middle panels ?  If so, then please post the project here and we can tell you where you're going wrong.

Hi Tim

attach the  project .

The problem is as follows:

If I create panels in the runtime form on the center panel then the center panel extends itself.

While calling a new form that creates panels then the central panel does not stretch.

You have to set FormMenu.LayoutConsumption <> lcNone, otherwise
AutoSize.Height of the central panel does not work.

with your modify function only in part.

the page only extends to the size of the form called .

the form it does not automatically dimension , then if you try to set the bottomright on the called form then nothing works anymore .

try also to set the second form of a certain size and see if the panel responds to what's going on .

tks.

What you need is an Autosize property for the form. Unfortunately this
functionality has not been finished yet in the current version of EWB.

As a workaround do this:

1. Create a BasicPanel on the form and use it as a parent for your controls.
2. Set the panel's layout.position to lpTopLeft and layout.stretch to
lsRight (NOT lsBottomRight)
3. Set Autosize.Height to true

That makes sure that the panel's height is always correct depending of
its content.

Now you have to adjust the form's height according to the panel's height:

4. In the OnShow event of the form (or whenever you have created new
controls on runtime):
FormMenu.Height := FormPanel.Height

That should work.

In a later version of EWB you will be able to skip this all and just set
the form's autosize.height = true.

@Tim: it would be great to have the AutoSize functionality with forms
soon.

Uli

ok

for now I solved it with your advice .

I've yet to get the time to test it all out thoroughly.  The issue is with the scrollbars that are bottom/right-positioned/stretched and their interaction with the auto-sizing.  That's why basic panels are easy to deal with, there's no extra sub-controls that can cause issues.
