Model view options dialog box should work as object-tool settings

Hi,

Following comment / improvement wish/ report from GDL-developer. Object settings works correctly, but in Model view options, the settings window works erroneously if the boxes width and height isn't defined.

Please, change the MVO-dialog box in following ways:

1. make MVO to retain it's window height when it's individual tabs are opened and closed (when sizes aren't set)  & element width shouldn't get wider by itself once user stretches' back and forth (for instance in UI_LISTFIELD).

2. UI_LISTFIELD should be fixed so that it respects the given value, not be stretched according to window width (if it's under 600). If the width is given to be zero, could , UI_LISTFIELD stretch to window width automatically.

3. If UI_DIALOG is given the width zero, it could be aligned to left instead of centered and width could be default (600).

Attached sample picture of centered and stretched settings in MVO

Hi,

I understood you mentioned No.3 item, could you send me any sample gsm to show me the problem of No.1 and 2?

Thanks!

Hi,

here is a test object. It will present model view option window.

By default 'full width UI' is true, and listfield will stretch to the full width of window.

You must close and open window for the parameter change of 'full width UI' from false to true to take effect.

Default value must be true, otherwise changing value to true seems to have no effect, even if you close and open window.

When fullwidth=true and you stretch window wider and narrower, title box will get wider and parameter value moves right, finally out of visible area of window.

Also, when 'full width UI' is set false and you stretch window narrower (without closing and opening window), all elements move left, out of window.

After closing and opening window, elements stay inside window, but parameter value selection cannot be seen.
