Mr. Ivers,
Could you please elaborate on this lack of auto size feature for groups in
Rev? In MC 2.4.3 on WIN XP pro, my groups automatically resize when I change
the visible property of controls in the group. For example, if I have three
fields in a group stacked vertically, and each field is of a different
width, then when I set the visible of the highest field to false, the height
of my group automatically drops to enclose the remaining two visible fields
(plus, of course, a few pixels around that defines the group area).
Similarly, if I set the visible of the widest field to false, then the width
of group automatically reduces to a width sufficient to display the widest
visible field. Likewise, when I set the visible of these fields back to
true, the group auto resizes to a larger size and displays all of the
visible controls.
