Resize the eSearch Widget Default Box Size (or other widgets)

NicholasMcNamara — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:55:27 GMT

Is there a way to resize the default size of the eSearch widget? I have a search that is 2 lines and it results in a little scrollbox appearing on the right side so the user can scroll, or they can manually stretch the box with the grip. Also, if it's possible to relocate the box a little bit for its default position on the screen, I'd like to nudge it a bit.

Any ideas if this is possible? I'm using compiled Flex.

Nick,

Every widget has the ability to have a height and width set in their main config.xml.

        <widget label="Enhanced Search" preload="open"                 icon="assets/images/i_search.png" height="250" width="400"                 config="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.xml"                 url="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.swf"/>

Nick,

As well of the initial open location of the widget. to relocate it, use top,bottom,left,right,vert/horizontal center in the widget tag.

the available options can be seen here:
