[mapguide-users] ResizeBox

[Traian Stanev]

Hi, 

I checked with one of the developers of the resize box, and here is his answer:

==
The ResizeBox functionality is not designed to do what he wants ("scale the symbol and make it fit to the ResizeBox").

Here's the description from the schema's ResizeBox element:

The optional box used to resize and reposition select graphic elements. The graphical extent of all elements with ResizeControl set to AddToResizeBox will be added to this box, potentially causing it to grow in size. Any change in size causes all elements with ResizeControl set to AdjustToResizeBox to be proportionally resized and repositioned.
==

If you want to scale the whole symbol, you can use the scaling elements available in the SymbolInstance which references the SymbolDefinition in your LayerDefinition.
