1.Open the panel in Panel Designer, and then select the component or group of components to be sized in the Panel Designer workspace.

2.Use one of the following methods:

To adjust the dimensions using the Components Property Editor, click Height or Width and enter the desired dimensions (in pixels).

-or-

To adjust the size using the mouse, hover over one of the black anchor points at the edge of the component until a two-headed arrow ArrowTwoHeads appears, and then click and drag to size. The sizing ToolTip AddTicketDisplay01 displays the size in pixels (width x height) as you drag.

-or-

To scale the component to a percentage of the current size, right-click the component, click Scale, and then type or select a percentage.

Best Practice HM

Hint When you use the Scale command with a group of components selected, the space between the components is also scaled. This is an advantage over using the other methods of sizing, as it reduces the need to reposition components after re-sizing.

Note HM

Important The minimum size for ticket displays is 100 pixels in height by 160 pixels in width. If the display is smaller than this, item names won't display; this will cause a warning when you check the menu for errors.

Hint You can also use Panel Designer keyboard shortcuts or the Panel Designer Shortcut Menu to size components.
