Gordan, the code you provided has one small issue, since
originalHeight is set everytime minimize is called it resets the
minimum each time.
Is there a way to set the minimum size on creationComplete or another
function inside the custom panel?
So for instance:
protected override function createChildren(): void {
super.createChildren();
originalHeight = this.height;
trace(originalHeight);
}
I tried the following, but it didn't work. When the trace is called
it returns "0" so I assume "this" in createChildren isn't refering to
the my custom Panel or is it something else?
This might be another subject, but can you do this parent.this.height?
