Resize detached panels in framemaker_9 (beyond default limit)...

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to increase the size of detached panels beyond what seems to be a default limit. Is there a .ini or .inf file somewhere that controls this? Or perhaps a hidden setting somewhere in Framemaker 9?
I have noticed that after a reinstall and transition to a new PC (same OS and versions of FM, same monitor sizes and resolution, different PC), the panel resizing is smaller than what was, by about 1/2. The panel used to be able to be resized to about 1/3 the size of the monitor... now it's about 1/4. This happens with all detached panels, but the main focus is for the "Structure View" panel.
Thanks in advance!

FOUND IT!
I found out where the panel settings are held (in Windows 7):
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\WorkSpaces\Structured\Struc tured Authoring.cfws
if you open up that file, there is a line in there that handles the size of the detached panel:
data=#quot;5 10 #quot; minimum-size=#quot;400 80#quot; pref-unc-size=#quot;960 712#quot; pref-c-size=#quot;480 580#quot; maximum-size=#quot;1920 1160#quot;/>" host-cached-sizes="false"/>
the bolded part will set the maximum size of the detached panel in pixels. I noticed that the more panels/things you open in FM the more lines get populated in Structured Authoring.cfws.
I also assume that the first part of the line: "data=#quot;5 10" is the identifier for the panel. That part seems to not be replicated in any other part of the file. I'm not sure if these are univeral identifiers or are specific to my system upon creation. 
How I found the specific line: I used this (http://www.cthing.com/Meazure.asp) tool to measure the panel maximum detached size in pixels and then looked in the file for corresponding numbers.
How I found the file: had the old OS drive that had FM installed that had a larger maximum size detached panel. Copied over the user specific files from the above directory to figure out if I was right. Then tried the files one by one until I hit the right one.

  • I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

    I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

    I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
    First close Photoshop.
    Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
    It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

  • • Characters panel is reset to default when touching "tabulations" in old table (CS5)

    Hello -
    Colleagues of mine complain about Illustrator CC (17.1) and old CS5 tables.
    We recently made the upgrade to CC (coming from CS5).
    And we noticed strange behavior when we open a file within tables.
    When we try to modify the tabulations inside an existing table (array), well the "characters" panel is reset to default (leading, H/V scales, baseline shift, kerning, … are lost). 
    Is this a bug?
    Or is there a logical reason?
    How could we avoid this (ie. that the table stay formatted as it is), because we have thousand of such "old" tables in our .AI documents.
    Thank you for any input.
    Have a nice day…

  • How to keeps button in center of resizable dialog/panel?

    Hi all,
    Is there any ways to make a button still in center of dialog/panel when I resize dialog/panel without changes its frame size?
    I'm using kBindAll but the button will be changed frame size. Can anybody please help me resolve that?
    My attribute of button:
    ButtonWidget
      kAMPBrowseBtWidgetID,
      kSysButtonPMRsrcId, // The Plugin ID
      kBindAll, // Frame binding
      Frame(64,220,200,246) // Frame(4,4,265,320) // Frame
      kTrue, // Is this visible
      kTrue, // Is this enabled
      "Browse Pages", // The String value

    Hi,
    I couldn't get it to work using the binding.
    There may be a better way of doing it, but I got it working by setting to kBindNone and moving the button on panel resize events:
    Firstly, make sure you have a custom class for your panel's control view.
    Mark it up in the fr file for the panel's widget boss class with:
    IID_ICONTROLVIEW, kMyPanelViewImpl,
    Add to the ID definitions, factory list etc and set up a MyPanelView class (or whatever you want to call it...), derived from PanelView, for this implementation
    Then in your MyPanelView class, setup the Resize function as below:
    void MyPanelView::Resize(const PMPoint& dimensions, bool16 invalidate)
        PanelView::Resize(dimensions, invalidate);
        InterfacePtr<IPanelControlData> panelData(Utils<IPalettePanelUtils>()->QueryPanelByWidgetID(kMyPanelWidgetID));
        if(panelData == nil) return;
        IControlView *myWidget = panelData->FindWidget(kMyButtonWidgetID);
        if (myWidget == nil) return;
        PMRect theFrame = myWidget->GetFrame();
        PMReal left = (dimensions.X() - theFrame.Width()) / 2;
        PMReal right = left + theFrame.Width();
        theFrame.Left(left);
        theFrame.Right(right);
        myWidget->SetFrame(theFrame, kTrue);
    You will need these includes:
    #include "Utils.h"
    #include "IPalettePanelUtils.h"
    Hope that helps

  • Stop gnome panel launcher icons from scaling when resizing the panel

    hi guys!
    ive been trying to customize my gnome de and cant find the answer to this. i want to have a thick panel say around 36px with a large main menu icon and 22x22 launcher icons. i tried checking gconf-editor and dont see any option to set this. when i resize the panel to 36 px, the launcher icons follow the size of the panel. i want them to stay at 22x22 even when the panel is resized to 36 px.
    below is a screenshot of what im talking about.
    please let me know what you think! many thanks!

  • Resize a panel at launch

    Hi,
    I need to the resize my panel at InDesign start, normally, InDesign uses the width and height from the previous session. For some reason, calling Resize in DoPostCreate (from my object based on PalettePanelView) does not work, while a call to Resize works as exepected when triggered from some user interaction (we provide 3 sizes of the panel which the user can choose via buttons).
    Any idea?
    Thanks and best regards
       Ferdinand
    P.S.: We are developing for InDesign CS6.

    I think I've got the problem solved, but can I follow up on
    one thing you mention below? It has to do with the parent/child
    relationship and the startDrag action. I was under the impression
    that if I put a movieclip inside of another movieclip and then
    apply a drag action to the parent movieclip, then there was no way
    to access the child movieclip. For example, I put a small textInput
    component inside of a larger movieclip and then I put a drag action
    on the movieclip. I wanted users to be able to type in some text
    into the middle of the movieclip and then move the moviecip around
    if they wanted to. However, as soon as I put the drag action on my
    parent movieclip, the inputText component could no longer be used -
    the "hand" appeared over whole movieclip so users could no longer
    type anything into the inputText area. Is there any way to do what
    I want to do here?
    Appreciate your help!

  • Spry Tabbed Panels - Start with no default tab??

    Hi all,
    Is there any way that I can have a spry tabbed panels widget
    and NOT have any tabs open when the page loads? I want to put
    multiple tabbed panel widgets on one page for an artist's
    discography
    example:
    Singles
    - tab 1 - tab 2 - tab 3 - etc. etc.
    Albums
    - tab 1 - tab 2 - tab 3 - etc. etc.
    Misc
    - tab 1 - tab 2 - tab 3 - etc. etc.
    I just want the page to look clean and compact - I don't want
    any default tab to display. Is this possible? I looked on the Adobe
    customization help for the widget but I can't seem to find an
    answer. I managed to achieve this by deleting the
    (this.defaultTab); part of this line in the .js file:
    if (this.defaultTab)
    this.defaultTab = this.getElement(this.defaultTab);
    But when I did this, if I created multiple widgets, the
    second widget and so on's tabs would not work properly, for some
    odd reason. I'm kind of a newbie so I apologize for not making much
    sense.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Icon Resizing, How do I set a default size across all windows?

    Anyone know how to set the default icon size? I can resize them in each window, but I want to resize all of them across all windows. They are all so small now and I want to make all finder windows show the bigger size.
    Thank you.

    You're wrong. Every window that you open for the first time inherits whatever
    you set as the defaults via view options. Previously opened windows retain
    whatever settings they had previously.
    Wrong here. The newly opened window get the settings of the previously opened window IF the check box of the Command-J window is not checked.
    If the last opened window have "text on the right", text size to 9, and you close it and open a window who do not have the CheckBox [open in Icons] checked, your window will inherit the previously opened window settings (even if it was closed before you open the window)...
    And I do not talk about reboot because I have TROUBLES with that on my SL machine (clean, very clean install [three times!]).
    About the only thing you can't choose is how large
    the window is when first opened. To reset everything, run this command in the
    Terminal: copy & paste, hit the return key, and at the Password: prompt,
    carefully type in your admin password, and hit the return key.
    How do you do the reverse ?

  • Resizing Extension Panel does not layout Flex controls at all, simply scales stage

    Hello,
    I'm having this issue with Extension Panels in Fireworks compiled with the Flex 4 SDK. When the panel is first opened, it has the correct dimensions and controls are laid out correctly. If I resize it at all, it scales itself instead of laying out it's controls to take advantage of the new space. This doesn't seem to occur when using Flex 3's mx:Application, only Flex 4. Any ideas?
    Before Resize:
    After Resize:
    This occurs no matter the Application container control I use - mx:Application, mx:ApplicationWindow, cs:CSXSWindowedApplication, and so on.
    My Application MXML is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <cs:CSXSWindowedApplication
      xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
      xmlns:cs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
      <!-- Setting width & height are the only way I can get it to show properly when first opened. -->
      width="200" height="200" historyManagementEnabled="false" showStatusBar="false">
      <s:Button label="Click Me" />
    </cs:CSXSWindowedApplication>

    So they key is apparently to have this as a compiler flag:
    -includes=mx.managers.systemClasses.MarshallingSupport
    And in applicationComplete:
    CSInterface.instance.autoThemeColorChange = true;
    Also use CSExtension as your base application class/component.

  • Query Panel field extends beyond right margin

    I've a .jspx with a Query Panel. The problem is that the search field for a 500-character string attribute extends beyond the right margin; so if a user enters a long search criterion, the user can never see the entire criterion.
    Is there a way to force such fields to be multi-line; in other words, to be the functional equivalent of an af:inputText with the Rows attribute set to greater than 1? I've tried setting various combos of af:query attributes, but to no effect, so would appreciate some advice:
    Here is the relevant part of the page source:
    <f:view>
    <af:document id="d1">
    <af:messages id="m1"/>
    <af:form id="f1">
    <af:pageTemplate viewId="/mainTemplate.jspx" id="pt1">
    <f:facet name="content">
    <af:group id="mainGroup">
    <af:panelGroupLayout layout="vertical" id="pgl1">
    <af:panelHeader text="#{viewcontrollerBundle.ACCESSIBILITY}" id="ph1"
    helpTopicId="APP_HELP_RECONSTRUCTION">

    </af:table>

    Versions: JDeveloper 11.1.1.4, ADF Business Components 11.1.1.59.23. Same issue occurs in both Firefox 3.n and IE 8.n.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Suresh. That solves the most important part of the question, it makes for a huge improvement.
    What i am also wondering is whether on a query panel the search field can be made to display as 'multi-line'. for example, a Display Width of 175 keeps the entire search field visible sans extending beyond the right margin. However, if the user has a search string of more than 175 chars - which could happen in our use case - the user still has to 'scroll' to see the remaining characters (this is a 500-char attribute). So I am wondering if ADF provides the ability to make the search text box display as multi-line.
    After following your suggestion i also tried settting the Display Height control hint to 4. But the field rendered in the browser as a 1-row field.

  • Resizing a panel that uses a CardLayout

    I have a panel (mainPanel) that uses GridBagLayouts.
    mainPanel contains two panels:
    1- panel1: contains 3 JRadioButtons
    2- panel2: uses CardLayout to show 3 panels based on the JRadioButtons selection. (one of the 3 panels (editorPanel) contains a JEditorPane added to a JScrollPane)
    Now when im resizing the mainPanel, the JEditorPane in the editorPanel is not resizing.
    Is there any way to make the JEditorPane resizable while using cardLayout?
    Thanks

    do you want the editorPane, or the scrollpane it is in, to resize?
    post the code of how that particular panel is constructed - a lot depends
    on the layout manager/s used
