Resize window without changing the position
Hello,
I want to change the window size of my pop-up window without resetting the position.
I know how to use the message [window size (position X left top corner) (position Y left top corner) (position X right bottom corner) (position Y right bottom corner)] on [thispatcher].
Is there a way to change the window size without setting a new position?
If not, is there a way to retrieve the current position of [thispatcher] to insert it into my [window size]?
Any other suggestions?
Any help is welcome. ;)
that is all easy to do,
what do you mean with pop-up window ?
subpatcher with pcontrol ?
you can wire thispatcher of that patcher to in/outlet
or send/receive to control it from outside.
position and size are both contained in that list of 4 values and if you leave the position ones as they were, the position will not change.
changing the position or both is far more difficult. :)
or do you want to the window to grow relative to its current center point? then you have to calculate the left/top offsets yourself. (minus (size difference / 2))
luckily there is an 110 object for everything. that size and position stuff always was confusing enough to generalize your own method which can be used without any braincells required.
