FindTags/CTags interface window needs elongation in x and y

[Aeneas]

Is there any way to make the Findtags (Ctags) window created by Textpad wider and longer ?
Textpad developers probably use Ctags on this or some other editor,
so I am surprised this enhancement has not been implemented
over so many years.

You most likely talk about the addon "Ctags" (Contributed by Frank Fesevur. Updated on 20 February 2004) which consists of an EXE and a readme HTML file - the latter with instructions how to set it up as tool in TextPad to get executed. TextPad does not create any window, the other EXE does.

wider and longer ?

The EXE contains resources to 4 pre defined dialogs/windows: "About FindTag", "Find Tag", "Show Tags" and "Options". Each of those can be modified easily thru a resource editor, including width and height of a dialog.

I am surprised this enhancement has not been implemented over so many years.

Ask the addon creator/maintainer, which is not TextPad.

From what I have seen, such Resource editing affects the outside window,
not the inner window which contains the Ctags data.
The result is an outer window which grows, and an inner window which does not change.

After further manipulation of this Resource tool, this method seems to work.
Good information.
