Ez-Script Control Re-Sizing Itself

@DJSures Of late I have noticed that the EZ-Script controls are re-sizing themselves when I reload a project. I will set them to a certain (small) size and save. When the project is reloaded, they have become wider and are overlapping. This makes it difficult to structure the controls as I would like. Have they been programmed to some minimum and are disregarding the width to which they were set and saved if that width is below a certain limit?

Upgrade to ARC Pro

ARC Pro is your passport to a world of endless possibilities in robot programming, waiting for you to explore.

I haven't noticed that one. Are they resizing bigger, smaller or both when reopening? I have noticed the title bar in the Script m\Managers resize smaller to the (maybe) default size. I'll slid the bar open wider so I can see the whole title I've typed in there and save. Next time I open the box is back to the old smaller width and I can only see part of the title I've typed. I wonder if your and my issue are related? Perhaps the auto resolution sizing that goes on in the background? Just a guess and I really don't know, I'm really dumb about these things. I agree with you that it is a little frustrating to go back and resize things after an adjustment.

Welcome to Windows....

Wonder if there's a way to redirect these kind of comments directly to Microsoft:)

I'll take a look and see what hacks are necessary lol

Hmm.. Do I see a possible refactoring of EZ-Robot into Linux on the horizon? You seem to be complaining about Microsoft a lot lately :P

Don't get me started about linux:) Boy, i tried a year ago for the v4 launch and maaaaaan what a pain. There's no documentation. Everything is buggy. Each distro has different library versions. Dozens of branches per library. No consistency per distro windowing interface. I seriously considered a port to it, but it's just not a consumer grade OS.

OS/X is on the horizon for sure - there has been a serious decline in new os/x apps, as most apple users are running windows on their mac hardware ... meanwhile, the die-hards continue to use os/x mostly because they're PC requirements are limited to checking email, opening and editing word/excel documents, and browsing the internet.

I think my frustration with microsoft is that they sit between linux and os/x on the scale of usability, features and reliability. I am absolutely blown away with .Net and the documentation surrounding it - specifically since every release of .Net gets faster and connects to OS level system calls. It's the OS i have trouble with.... not the dev environment.

What would be ideal you ask? Oh man, that would be really awesome if microsoft created a 100% compatible .Net framework for OS/X. My dreams would come true!

Ps, don't direct me toward Novell's Mono acquisition - that's just linux in disguise.

I was expecting a "no", and maybe a laugh. Thanks for the detailed explanation. No argument here.

lol - a "no" would not have justified the frustration from attempting to use that terrible operating system!

Think if i emailed microsoft and asked nicely for an OS/X version of .Net they'd take me seriously?

DJ, go for a Linux version of ARC. That is an OS.;)

yeah - that would be awesome:)

Just need the framework to start building it from. Didn't we read somewhere a while ago that microsoft was going to release .Net for linux? Rather than mono...
