Implemented in TD 7.3

[Uwe van der Horst]

It has been implemented, but the implementation is very rudimentary.In Attribute Inspector you find the attributes "Vertical Anchor" and "Horizontal Anchor". You can set these attributes to "Top/Bottom/Both/None". This leads to a major limitation. There is no way to resize the elements in proportion to the form window. Only one "level" (= items next to each other or items below the other) can be resized horizontally or vertically. I have requested to add a function to provide the proportional resizing percentage of the elements. I also requested a new flag for grid columns to be able to resize them also in proportion to its parent.

TD-25538 - Request to add new attributes to specify a percentage for each element for resizing both horizontally and vertically - is scheduled to implement in TD 7.5
Zooming was part of the DevDay presentations and is scheduled for TD 7.4. Very good feature.
