Scale popup window

[kusey]

is possible to scale a popup window?

[mkoller]

only by using a larger font

[Gertjan van Schijndel]

Which popup window do you mean? Could you post a screenshot of the popup?

[kusey]

I mean a child panel, not tooltip

[mkoller]

I thought you meant a popup (popupMenu, popupMenuXY).
But then I'm not sure what you mean.
If you mean if the user is allowed to resize a child panel window, then this is only allowed if the panel uses a layout,
else it's fixed size (just per definition).

I need to open the child panel (use ChildPanelOn or same functions) with a scale different from 1, for example 0.9 or 0.8. Is it possible?

[leoknipp]

No, it is not possible to open a child panel wtih a defined zoom factor.
If you use the config entry initialZoomFactor all panels are opened by default with that zoom factor.

If you like to have a specific panel always using a scale factor, then you can define this factor in the attribute editor in gedi for this panel, which will also be used when it's opened as child panel.

I was looking for a solution on the same topic. And this is what I came up with.

Create a new panel with "start zoomfactor" for example 0.5, and with embedded module on it. Then open this new panel as child panel, pass desired panel name as dollar-parameter and open desired panel on new panel's embedded module. It will be fixed size popup, but it can be any size and no changes are needed to original panel.
