So I'm in the process of figuring out how to make my front panel scale. This should not be near as hard as its turing out. But I'm learning lots in the process. I'm using 7.1 and have almost got it worked out with a rather large and complex schematic. But a strange thing I've found.
I made a custom type def of the slider control and shrunk things down small and mades things transparent. I'm using it to represent a tube for gas flow. I'm setting it to max fill. Using it, or a normal one for that matter, on the front panel, I can grab the handles for the fill, and resize it. And when I grab the whole control I can see the housing outline. Things is if I stretch it larger than I want and let go, then shrink it back down again, the housing stays at that larger size, while the fill shrinks down. What I really want, it seems, is to be able to grab the housing and resize it, but there do not seem to be any handles for it, just handles for the fill.
I thought I would get around it by programtically making the fill size and the housing size equal, but I dont see fill size as a property, nor a method.
Oh and is there a way to delete components of a customized control that are a stock part? Like the housing or the fill or the scale for instance.
as always I appreciate eveyones input, and when I get this worked out I'll post the results
