DesktopX Edit Control

One size fits all?

I'm going to use the DesktopX Edit Control in one of my widgits and I have a question.

Is there a way to resize the control without putting it in script. The default size for just a one line text entry is a square, about the size of the default object image, except a square not a cirlce. I want it to fit a single line of text, so to do this I have to use Object.Resize. However, I've looked at a couple other widgets that use it and they aren't using the script to resize the control.

For instance the CUI Pack uses the control and I can't find where the size is set. I've tried pressing the Ctrl key and grabbing the handles to resize it but it just goes back to the original square.

Maybe I'm missing something easy but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Yea, just right click on the object and go to the summary tab and you can size it there.

I appreciate the response. However, it seems that I cannot use the width and height on the summary tab to resize the object.

Whenever I click either box where you would normally enter a new size and width nothing happens. It doesn't change to an input box, just continues to read "(Image default)"

I opened the CUI pack edit control and the width and height on those have (Image default).

BTW - I'm running DesktopX Professional 2.21

Thanks for any help.
