Window of AU plugin not resizable

[bijlevel]

Maybe already discussed on the old forum (if so please point me to the discussion), but when I export a restricted instance as AU component, the window of the component is not resizable. This is rather annoying, especially when the original size of panel is rather big. Is there a solution for this problem?

Are you talking about changing the zoom factor and the wrapper window not resizing to the content?

That's a very good news! And how do you manage to get the frame resizeable (locked/unlocked)? Do you define a global property with LUA or is it an option to tick in panel mode?
Thanks

No, I adjusted the code in the source and compiled the application (v5.6.23) again. I did the same for v5.3.201, but unfortunately only the standalone app compiled OK, but not the AU component. The latter turned out to be a nightmare and I probably will give up trying it.

Oh alright so did you change false to true here ?

if (!JUCEApplication::isStandaloneApp())

{
    if (owner.getInstanceMode() != InstanceSingleRestriced)
    {
        /* Restricted instances don't get to be resizable */
        addAndMakeVisible (&resizer);
        resizer.setAlwaysOnTop (true);  /* false to true ??? */
        resizer.grabKeyboardFocus();
        resizer.toFront (true);
    }
}

No, I just commented out the check for restricted instance:

`if (!JUCEApplication::isStandaloneApp())

{
    //if (owner.getInstanceMode() != InstanceSingleRestriced)
    //{
        /* Restricted instances don't get to be resizable */
        addAndMakeVisible (&resizer);
        resizer.setAlwaysOnTop (false);
        resizer.grabKeyboardFocus();
        resizer.toFront (true);
    //}
}`

and recompiled.
