I have a popup that is a chart showing the data from an instrument. On that popup, below the chart, is a bunch of optional settings/information... I want to be able to have a toggle button that will expand or close that part of the popup. Effectively resizing the popup itself live. Is there anyway to do this.

Easier is just put a blank frame over that area, tied to visibility. Resizing popups might cause issues if theyre bordering docked areas and you resize over that area without repositioning the popup. I dont know this, as never tried it, but would be something to test against.

Refer to this [Useful CSS Stuff - #12 by nminchin](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/useful-css-stuff/95414/12)

You cannot programmatically move a popup that's already open (without js hacks I would assume)

Vision or Perspective? The answer is vastly different between the two product lines.
