MSFS Tool Bar panel.... possible to autosize it?

Is it possible to make a panel in the Tool Bar "autosize".

We display a lot of information in the Tool bar and it's dynamic. It would be nice to be able to make the panel autosize since the layout changes due to the dynamic buttons.

Is there a way to do this?

As you can see in the screen shot, the user needs to manually drag the panel to accommodate all the buttons.

I had this working, though min/max size didn't work. Try `content-fit="true"` on the `ingame-ui` node. You'll need to take care that your layout is ready when the panel initializes or else it would have an incorrect size.

Hello @bb8

Unfortunately we have not implemented a method to automatically resize panel. The sendUpdatePanelSize() method work for the height of the panel but not for the width.

You can try to use a minimal width big enough to cover all cases or change your html code to make sure that there is a line break when the text exceeds a certain length/ character count.

Best Regards,
Yohan

It would be useful to have some function to set the width, since lots of content in a toolbar panel might be dynamic.
