Can you consider optimizing the expression editor?

Kong Nan

Two problems are now encountered.

When the text is long, it will be more difficult to use. Would like to be able to set this window style to support double click on the title bar to maximize/restore.
For some strings, I hope to be able to remove the outer quotation mark requirement to avoid complications and errors, as shown in the figure.

(Sorry for my bad English)

You are suppose to use the selector window to edit the selectors, not the property dialog ( click the "Open Selector" button )
The reason I'm still showing the selector property, is so people can replace it with a variable

First of all, thank you for your reply.

The background of my initial question is that when I use "Open Selector", OpenRPA may Crash due to XPath problem, until I found out that this expression editor can fix it.

Adjusting WNDSTYLE might be a compromise, users can double-click on the title bar to maximize it as needed, and for those who don't need it, it doesn't have a negative impact.

WNDSTYLE

You can just drag the window and change size. Would that solve your problem ?

Yes, that's what I did earlier, otherwise that dialog wouldn't be as big as my screenshot. But double-clicking to maximize would be simpler and more user-friendly (and it doesn't look like need to write code)

You don't need to worry too much about this. It's just a feature that's better with and works without.

If you want this fast, feel free to send a Pull Request, I'll gladly add it to next release.
Else I will have a look at this at some point
