Prevent Window Resize

Featured Replies

This is probably a real simple fix. When I run a script that requests a new window, the original window resizes itself. Is there a way I can make it so that the popup window doesn't affect the size of the original window?

Windows behave differently on a Mac and PC, but either way the window should not be resizing itself.

On a Mac the original window should not change in any way.

On a PC, if the windows are maximised then opening any other window will cause all the existing windows to un-maximise themselves and return to their previous "restored" size.

What is the script that "requests a new window" actually doing?

It is FileMaker's nature to make the new window the same size as the original, only off set to the right and down (IIRC correctly) 25 pixels?

It seems strange that the Original window would do anything?

My script is for adding notes to a portal. In the employee files I have a portal for notes with a button for adding. The script opens a new window which has another button with the "close window" command when finishing adding the note.

You cannot use Maximize Window on Windows and have popup dialog windows, because you'll see the behavior Vaughan has described. Stick with Resize to Fit.
