This is not currently possible, however you can specify the size of the
window if you show it using a View instead of calling InspectObj.

This is an example from the OM Reference (View object):


/*
	This example demonstrates how we can host a Custom Property 
	inside a View.  

	This has some advantages over the InspectObj command:

	-we can specify the exact size and positioning of the window
	-the view is exposed in the Layout.Views collection so we can
	find out if the property page is already being "inspected".

	However it does not support the "Modal" mode supported by
	InspectObj.
*/

// Step 1: Create the custom property

var oPSet = ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty( "CustomProperty", false, "MyProp" );
oPSet.AddParameter3( "textparam", siString ) ;
oPSet.AddFCurveParameter( "MyFCurve" ) ;

var oLayout = oPSet.PPGLayout ;
oLayout.Clear() ;
oLayout.AddItem( "textparam" );
oLayout.AddItem( "MyFCurve" );

oLayout.AddRow()
oLayout.AddButton( "MoveView", "Move View" ) ;
oLayout.AddButton( "Close" ) ;
oLayout.EndRow()

oLayout.Language = "JScript"
oLayout.Logic = MoveView_OnClicked.toString()
	+ Close_OnClicked.toString() ;


// Step 2: Show the custom property in a view

var oActiveLayout = Application.Desktop.ActiveLayout;
var oNewView = oActiveLayout.CreateView( "Property Panel", "MyPropView" );

oNewView.BeginEdit();
oNewView.Move( 10, 10 );
oNewView.Resize( 340, 340 );
oNewView.SetAttributeValue( "targetcontent", oPSet.FullName );
oNewView.EndEdit();


// Logic code used by the buttons on the Custom Property

function MoveView_OnClicked()
{
	// We can't get to the view directly from the PPG object,
	// but we can find it indirectly by searching through
	// the open views

	var thisCustomProp = PPG.Inspected.Item(0).FullName

	var oActiveLayout = Application.Desktop.ActiveLayout

	for ( var i = 0 ; i < oActiveLayout.Views.Count ; i++ ) {
		var oView = oActiveLayout.Views(i) ;

		if ( oView.Type == "Property Panel" ) {
			if ( oView.GetAttributeValue("targetcontent") == thisCustomProp ) {
				// found it!		
				oView.Move( 250, 250 ) ;
				return ;
			}
		}
	}
}

function Close_OnClicked()
{
	// Self destruction of the custom property
	DeleteObj( PPG.Inspected.Item(0) ) ;

	PPG.Close() ;
}

Conversation: PPG height
Subject: PPG height


Hello,

Anyone knows if there is a way to set the height of a ppg layout? I
have several items in my ppg, and a scrollbar appears. However I'd
like to set the height so there is no scrollbar.


Thanks
Bernard
