setSize

Changes the object size

Parameters

  1. number|string width as number or dynamicvalue as string
  2. number|string height as number or dynamicvalue as string

Returns

  1. object The object in use

Usage

  • Sets the frame to have a width of 15 and a height of 12
local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local subFrame = mainFrame:addFrame():setSize(15,12)
<frame width="15" height="12" />

Dynamic Values

Dynamic values can be used to automatically calculate and set the size of an object based on expressions. They can include mathematical operations and reference the size or position of other objects or the object itself. Instead of using static numbers, you can use dynamic values as strings. Here's an example of using dynamic values with setSize:

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local aButton = mainFrame:addButton("objectID")
local secondButton = mainFrame:addButton():setSize("objectID.w * 0.5", "parent.h * 0.25")

In this example, the width of secondButton is set to half the width of aButton, and its height is set to one-quarter of its parent's height. You can use parent, self, or an object ID to reference different objects when using dynamic values.
