Auto-expanding window based on content

[Cybjorg]

I have a Ext 4 window with a couple collapsed fieldsets in it (see attached illustration, Figure 1). I would like for the window to automatically expand to fit the content once the fieldsets are expanded (see Figure 2). In reality, however, now that autoHeight has been discontinued in Ext 4, I am forced to set the window height with an absolute value. If I set the value too small, any expanding content ends up outside the confines of the window dimensions (see Figure 3). Thus, I'm forced to set a large window height in order to incorporate the expanded fieldsets, even if they are collapsed (see Figure 4).

Is there any way to define autoHeight-style behavior to a window/panel so that it can grow/shrink when fieldsets are expanded/collapsed?

If you don't give a height then autoHeight is assumed... should be at least.

Mitchell, I've been building this in Ext Designer, so I haven't actually tested this in a working environment. Ext Designer adds a height and width to windows by default. When you remove the height declaration in Designer, you would expect the window to collapse down to its minimum value; instead it expands to fit the container (in this case, the Designer canvas). That's why I'm confused about the window behavior.

Try it outside of Designer... that shouldn't happen.
