Ben,
Is there any way to making the floating pane behave like a dialog box as far as it resizing on the fly?
there is an example of my dialog box here:
When you click on a point on the map it populates the dialog box. if you click on other features with more data the box resizes automatically. I have went to a floating pane because the dialog is modal and disables some of the maps functionality. I have tried to get the floating pane to behave in a similar fashion but its not working.
