How to leave the character sheet scalable?

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

I would like to leave the character sheet of the Call of Cthulhu resizable? It is possible?

Character Sheets dont generally scale nicely in the horizontal direction - hey do vertically.

Use something like this in campaign/record_char.xml

<sizelimits>
<minimum width="515" height="610" />
<maximum width="515" />
<dynamic />
</sizelimits>

Also, when anchoring your controls use a relative over absolute layout - this will allow the controls to flow in layout when you resize the character sheet.

Thanks Damned

Is it possible to resize the inventory as well?

Original Size:
16568

Resized version:
16569

Yes it is but you will have to think about hose anchor points and which ones to change :)

[YAKO SOMEDAKY]

If I understood correctly the anchorage serves to attach an object to a specific point and that I need to change it so that the field I want to become "dynamic".
But whats the problem, I remove the anchored?
I change the anchored to bounds and apply size limit?
Do I make what is static ... dynamic?

Without looking at the code.... Im guessing if you stretch that page currently either the bottom panels scale or no panels scale?
You want to anchor the bottom of the Inventory to the bottom of the page. It doesnt have to be closer to the bottom but it has to be anchored to the bottom and the others need to be anchored to Inventory...
To anchor to the bottom go back and look at the code for the Skills frame - but you will need a bigger number...

ello, I know haven't been very active on the forums but I am around and working in the background ;)

I made my layout do this.
As you can see by default when I add a melee weapon or a weapon away the next field moves.
I would like to do the same with the inventory and the items that follow it

Anchoring with negative (-) values - as these anchor to the bottom/right of the window/control. This can be used to anchor the the bottom/right of a frame/subwindow to the bottom/right of a main window, so when the main window is resized so does the frame/subwindow.

Also look at "relative" anchoring here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/modguide/windowing.xcp This is what the majority of controls get their dynamic placement from.

There are plenty of examples for relative anchoring throughout the FG rulesets. Search in files for "relative" and take time to understand how the XML is being used - as mentioned in the link above, there will be one anchor that all relative controls use, but the relative anchoring means they anchor to the previous control that has relative anchoring. Essentially, the anchoring of a bunch of controls is stringed together, so if the position of the anchor changes then so do the controls. If you want to make controls within windows adjust their placement dynamically you'll need to take the time to understand this.

I understand that the back field should have a relation with the previous one, but I do not know where it says .. at least I can not read where it says that if the previous field "increase" the posterior one should move ....

[damned]

Ok I couldnt get the frames to anchor to each other so I anchored them all from the bottom...

Use these values and then try and work out why it works.. :)

<frame_char name="inventoryframe">
<bounds>15,0,480,-305</bounds>
</frame_char>

<frame_char name="artifactframe">
<bounds>15,-310,480,110</bounds>
</frame_char>

<frame_char name="coinframe">
<bounds>15,-205,150,205</bounds>
</frame_char>

<frame_char name="incomeframe">
<bounds>165,-205,330,205</bounds>
</frame_char>

You might play with some of those values.

The minus symbol does miracles, but I still have problems, because the inventory became adjustable and I had managed to make the artifacts and books adjustable, but the inventory was no longer adjustable and I was standing still and my desire is that Both adjust.

And we love your work!

There is no ratio style measurement.
You cannot say frame = 1/3 or similar so that they all expand.
The code above will allow the Inventory to Scale and the rest to move appropriately.
Or you can leave the inventoryframe as static and and make a few modifications to the artifactframe code above and it will scale.
You cant have both as far as I can tell.

I would like to use the record_char_main.xml information in the record_char_inventory course that adjustments would need to be made, since the offset part that it is just what I want to do ... ie the previous item moves the posterior one up to a certain limit and only After that it generates a scrollbar.
