Windows Resize When Collapse

[daniel-moreno]

Is there a way to resize a window to fit children AFTER collapsing a frame inside the same window? I mean. I have a few frames on my UI window, after i collapse one of the frames, there is some excess window at the bottom. I wanted to get rid of that. Is it possible? thanks!

PS: I tried the collapse command to reduce the window size hoping the -resizeToFitChildren would calculate again...

I have done this but it is probable that I was in better position to do so: I knew that when my layout collapses I always get say 20 pixels of unused space at the bottom, so I query the window size with window -q -h and set the new one with "window -e -h ($orig - 20)"

What I always do is this. I have a formlayout within a framelayout. Everytime i collapse a frame, i query the height of the formlayout. Then set the height of the window by decreasing it with the height of the formlayout. Your window must be -rtf 1, so that it auto expand when the frame is expanded.

I'd make it that way.. Of course if the frames have different heights you'd have to set an "amount" for each :
CODE
{
    window -s 0 collapseWindow;
    string $amount = 33;
    columnLayout;
        frameLayout -cll 1 -w 200 -h 50
            -cc ("window -e -h (window -q -h collapseWindow - " + $amount + ") collapseWindow")
            -ec ("window -e -h (window -q -h collapseWindow + " + $amount + ") collapseWindow");
    setParent ..;
        frameLayout -cll 1 -w 200 -h 50
            -cc ("window -e -h (window -q -h collapseWindow - " + $amount + ") collapseWindow")
            -ec ("window -e -h (window -q -h collapseWindow + " + $amount + ") collapseWindow");
    window -e -h 127 collapseWindow;
    showWindow;
}
