How to control container size in runtime through an extension

[Velkumar]

Hi, 

Is it possible to control container size in runtime?

If so someone please guide me.

Have you looked the Grow/Shrink ratios and grow/shrink max/min?

You can also set areas to be static if needed.

Hi @PaiChung 

Thanks for your response.

I have checked these options but I'm still looking for a way to control programmatically ( examples: through extension).

What is the use case that you need to control this programmatically?

[Velkumar]

We have a widget with a list of values (horizontally aligned)

Whenever we click expand icon (last broken image) widget will expand and show some details. 

We have made it a responsive widget, but whenever we expand it container size remains unchanged so we get a scroll bar inside the container. We want the container also to be expanded.

That looks very cool.

Unfortunately I'm not too sure how you could make it do it so it doesn't have the scroll bar, I imagine that the container that is collapsing and expanding is already set to be responsive.

In thingworx from 9.2 we have an option to make the parent container scrollable, can u try to enable this on the parent container
or u can make the parent container fixed length by giving big value and hiding the scrolls

Hi @Velkumar.

Is the widget you're using custom?

Hi @Velkumar.

I'm not sure how to do what you need especially since you're using a custom widget.  Perhaps some of our developers in the community will have a suggestion
