View Details window should be resizable #590

Closed dfoll closed 5 years ago

dfoll commented 5 years ago

Background

Resizing the View details window is not intuitive. It can be done by changing the width of the field headings, but this is not the typical way that a user expects to be able to resize a window.

Current behavior

The only way to change the size of a View Details window in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro is to change the width of the fields. image Note in the screenshot you get resize handles when you hover over the field edges but not the corners of the window as users expect.

Expected behavior

You should be able to resize a window by hovering over a corner and getting the typical resize handles. image Typical way that resize handles are displayed in ArcGIS You should still also be able to resize fields within the window the standard way that ArcGIS resizes fields, however this should not change the window size. image Resizing a field in ArcGIS

Issues #590,#591, #592 are all very closely related, but have their own specific differences that make them unique. They very likely will be handled all in the same effort, but all require their own very specific fixes.

Testing from latest Development\Commercial\Solutions\DefenseSolutions\CoordinateConversion\Testing\CTLocalGovTeam-dev\91\

Pro behavior looks good and was tested with https://github.com/Esri/coordinate-conversion-addin-dotnet/issues/591#issuecomment-492804547

Not sure if it is just me, but I'm having a problem launching the addin in ArcMap (it is crashing for me) so looking into the cause. Not sure if @dfoll or @saip have seen this issue. (UPDATE: this was a problem with my ArcMap cache being corrupted somehow with multiple old versions of CC)

Tested in ArcMap, resize/fill now works as expected, however there are a few minor issues with this (in ArcMap only):

  1. The default size of the form seems to be much larger than necessary
  2. The form opens with a horizontal scroll bar even though there is nothing to scroll (this scroll bar disappears if the window is resized). Note this scroll bar seems to be related to an extra column in the grid control.
  3. The form is set to "Always on Top" (this may be by design)

I would recommend addressing 1, 2 above ( @saip @dfoll )
