I noted previously that most FM dialogs have both static and dynamic
controls. If you resize the dialog box and move around the static
controls, you risk damaging the dynamic behavior.

Developers define static controls in resource files which get
compiled
into executables or DLLs. Developers generate dynamic controls as the
program is running, by issuing Windows API calls. If you modify the
static controls or the dialog box containing them, you may end up
putting a static control at the same place a dynamic control is
supposed
to appear.

It would be only two to three days' work.  Then Adobe could release it as 
FM 8.  [Sorry, couldn't help myself.]

Hello Melissa,

I have done this work for most of the dialogs of the unstructured 
interface - and did not encounter any problems since with the 
'dynamicylly' assigned control elements.

Hi,
I'm sure I have seen this issue come up before...but can't seem to recall
the answer.

Is there any way to make the FrameMaker conditional text window or fields 
in

the window bigger (either through programming, plug-in, or setting config
file?)?  Sometimes my cond text titles are too long and run into the 
border
so that I cannot see the full title.  I would prefer to just make the 
window

bigger if it is at all possible.  Any information on whether this is
possible (and of course how) would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on digest, so please copy my email on your reply.

Thanks!
Melissa

P.S.  Hacking the dialogues is so easy (at least up to FM 7.1) that you 
wonder why Adobe hasn't assigned the work-experience programmer to do it 
for ALL those annoyingly tiny dialogues.
