Hi!

This is the normal behavior.

jayantbhatt07 · ‎08-22-2019

Hi what do you mean by normal behaviour can we fix it, I have seen other artist scripts also where in the update they fixed this thing. Any Idea?

mspeer · ‎08-22-2019

Hi!

If you want to change the size of the window after clicking on a certain frameLayout you need to add a MEL script to this frameLayout that does this by using -cc.

For example:

frameLayout -collapsable true -label "Shapes" -cc "window -e -height 100 nameWindow";

Thank you so much 🙂

Please reply this thread

Many thanks for the -cc flag!

Is there a flag with inverse functionality?

When one launches a window with already collapsed tabs, the window would automatically expand when manually expanding tabs.

Cheers,
