Stretch DCL.

Hello how are you

 

Can someone tell me if there is any way to stretch the dcl of its edges, with lisp.

 

Currently, one places the pointer on the edge of a DCL and can drag it to make it larger or smaller.
Is there any way to do that?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

AFAIK, DCL only allows to build fixed size modal dialog boxes.

To create resizable (and/or modeless) dialogs, you have to use ObjectDCL or OpenDCL.

DCL dialogs are dialog windows that can't be resized.

 

If you need that sort of thing, you might consider using a more-capable development tool that doesn't have so many hideous limitations.

No stretching.
Without third part products you can only use a temporary DCL (create them 'on the fly' via lisp) to change the dcl definition.

Sometimes this "dynamic" is near enough to the goal.

Good decision.

But you might want to increase the width of some of your tiles if their contents are being truncated.
