MVO page not using all space

JGoode

I have my MVO page setup so that it is as large as the ArchiCAD MVO pages. The issue is that even though my page it set to the same size, the amount of usable space is limited to that of an object interface page. Is there any way to fix this? If my text goes outside the border it just disappears.

Thanks

Did you define the size like in the following example?

ui_dialog "Optionen Raumstempel XYZ", 600,320

BTW MVO UI is the only object type that can take more than 444 pix as in "normal" objects (for now I hope)

For some reason the infield will go anywhere within the area however any outfield are just invisible. Both Set as Default and Hierarchical are unselected.

Just bumping this post as I'm having the same issue. UI_DIALOG specified to be a decent size. UI_INFIELDs all displaying correctly, but any UI_OUTFIELD text won't display if the Y value is greater than 266. Am I missing something, or is it a weird bug?

Looks like you have the solution too:
