B4J Question [Solved] Resizing Views programmatically

[LucaMs]

I'm asking a question that makes me feel like I'm back
to elementary school, after almost 13 years of using B4X!

Very simple layout, containing Pane1 and two buttons.

I resize Pane1 programmatically; all good. I use the mouse to resize the Form and... Pan1 returns to its original size and position.

Since it's impossible for my project to be a bug—it's too small!—this is evidently a "normal" behavior of B4J.
This means, however, that it would be the same for any view I create with Designer (and all custom views MUST be created with Designer, unless they're specially created—I won't explain further here).

How to fixed control postion

After changing the button position through code, I found that when the window size changes, the button position will return to its initial position. How can I fix its current position?

Thanks @aeric but I'm not looking for a solution, I'd like to try to understand that strange behavior and how to avoid it, if possible.

I suspect, perhaps I'm wrong, that if I want to programmatically change the size of a View, I have to create it programmatically, because if I use the Designer, with the two default anchors, I will always have that problem.

I suspect you didn't read the thread especially the last post.

100% right!


It's very sad that I now remember having had a response like that before (uncheck "Handle Resize Event").
My poor memory... has become zero!

So do I.
B4X tools have many features that we can't always remember all of them.

Thank you for your compassion. That's actually crucial; I shouldn't have forgotten it.
