How to make Container resizable

gutterfly-farm

I found many creators faced same problem, that once Containers expanded by child nodes, their cannot fix its size automatically.

Currently I'm trying to build an inventory system which contains custom tooltips. I put ColorRect under the each Label. It looks just one big panel and change parent size perfectly, no matter how many Labels it has.

But it cannot be the perfect solution. Because you may want to use other images as background, not just a ColorRect.

I know that quickly hide() and show() could change the parent Container size, but in my case it does't work. Especially when they are triggered by _mouse_entered().

Any other solutions or does't Godot support this issue?

I don't think I understand the problem.... Could you show the default behavior which doesn't produce the effect you want?

Sorry but I've already changed the default.

So I tried to experiment with a simple scene. Add a new label as child, then "free" it. When mouse completely leave from objects, it's ok, but sometimes parent MarginContainer has a weird space.

Probably mouse_enter signal of one control shoots before the mouse_exit of another. You might have to pad out the logic so the mouse enter signal can also clear the visibility of the other node and have checks on mouse exit signals to see if relevant visibility has already been set to false. Something along those lines.

Yes, I put too many buttons or labels, may be some of them trigger mouse_enter at the same time. I should try to what you said. Thanks.
