❔ TextBox stretching according to the window size

How do i make these textboxes autosize properly?

SoundOP•9/14/23, 12:57 PM

this should be the end result. it should change their width according to the widget width

SoundOP•9/14/23, 12:58 PM

also, the summary can be multi line, so it should modify its height to display the whole text properly

SoundOP•9/14/23, 12:58 PM

if the textbox is larger than the widget canvas, the widget must resize.

This looks like WPF to me which is out of my wheelhouse, but can you clarify for others if its WPF, WinForms, or something else?

SoundOP•9/14/23, 12:59 PM

Winforms

Hazel 🌊💃•9/14/23, 1:00 PM

So its a custom control?

SoundOP•9/14/23, 1:00 PM

Yes

You'd have to use docking and panels

How can i dock a panel under another panel ?

Hazel 🌊💃•9/14/23, 1:01 PM

I dont think Dock will work here. You have to size your textbox manually and then use AnchorAnchor

HimmDawg•9/14/23, 2:01 PM

You probably need to set the anchor in all four directions, but i cannot tell 100% rn

This is with:

2 panels; dock =
```
top
```
```
top
```
1 label per panel; dock = leftleft, padding = 4, 4, 4, 44, 4, 4, 4
1 textbox per panel; dock =
```
fill
```
```
fill
```

There are probably more efficient ways, but it is possible with dock.

SoundOP•9/15/23, 12:18 PM

If i enable autosize with GrowAndShrink, this it what is does

SoundOP•9/15/23, 12:19 PM

Hazel 🌊💃•9/15/23, 2:41 PM

Hazel 🌊💃•9/15/23, 2:41 PM

Or Dock top?
