iOS Question Cannot set panel height

[laguilar]

I've got a problem with a panel that does not want to retain the height I've set. It appears to be due to the layout animation. Here is the scenario:

I have 2 views, a B4XDrawer with a single panel in the left menu, upon load of the application I attempt to set the height of the panel to fill the left drawer height, but it stays the initial height that was specified in the designer. It's like there is a animation that is finishing still and is not letting me override the height (as i step-into the code, i can see it does set the height, and right after that line I can see there is an animation that sets it back to the designer specified height). I've set layout animation duration to 0 and damping ratio to 1.0, which has no effect.

I've struggled with this for awhile now with b4i in other applications we've tried to build and I have never been able to find a solid solution besides adding a timer to handle changes after a few milliseconds, and that is just unreasonable for a solution, there has to be a better way. There is no reason I should not be able to drop a panel in an app, set its height at load, and expect it to stay that height.

What is the appropriate solution here? I cannot be the only one having this issue.

1. Watch the B4i / B4J resize event video tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/etp.html?vimeography_gallery=1&vimeography_video=255731307
2. Do whatever you can with anchors and designer script.
3. You can disable the "handle resize event" if you want to manage the layout resizing yourself.
4. You can change the layout in the Page_Resize event.
