Topic: Select Window size (1 of 4), Read 14 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: VEDIT Suggestions From: Walt Pattinson Date: Monday, June 14, 2004 01:11 PM I just opened 18 files I'm about to use, and since I'm not going to be dealing with the files in buffer order, I wanted to use the "Select Window" option. Unfortunately, the window cannot be resized and all I can see is the attached. Can this window be changed to: 1) be resizable 2) when opened, remembers the last size specified Thanks, Walt

This is one of them; i.e. we have little/no control over the size or characteristics of this window. To implement your request, we would have to reverse-engineer this function, implement our own window handler, and then interface it into the Windows MDI functions. It would probably be a tricky 40-50 hour job. It is a reasonable suggestion which will be added to the list, but I would consider it a very low priority. Low priority means it will only be implement if we are working on a related function. Ted.

I'm using Windows 2000. What Windows version do you use? As alternatives: What about using {Windows, Switch...} (Alt-F5) instead? Or using the "Open" tab in the File selector? Christian

Thanks, Christian. Maybe I should explore more menu selections I haven't used yet... ;-)
