	Hello everyone ! I am currently working on an application using mainly shapeNode and ContainerNode. We're note very happy with the way ContainerNode look when are folded (bar style), we would like this to look more squary, we mainly need to change the size... I am unable to find how to do that ! Is it possible? If yes, how can I manage to do it? Thanks a lot for the help ! Yrauma

	Hi, Try setting the MinimumSize and CaptionHeight properties. When folded, the container's width is set to the one of MinimumSize, and its height is set to CaptionHeight. Otherwise MinimumSize specifies the minimum size of unfolded containers when AutoShrink is enabled. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hello Stoyan ! Thanks for your help. Unfortunatly, this doesn't work... Actually it works, but it also set this when the container is unfolded and it looks weird.. with a big button :s I kinda succeed making this behavior by setting the Bounds when the container is folded... And set it back when unfolded. But it looks really hacky ! What do you think? Thanks ! Amaury

	I suppose we could add some kind of FoldedSize property, but its implementation won't be much different than yours 8) You might also implement custom drawing for containers as in the sample below, which would let you draw a smaller caption bar disregarding the CaptionHeight value: http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=fcnet_feat;action=display;num=125300120...

	Here's a third one: https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/fcnet534_foldedsize.zip The Diagram class now has a FoldedContainerSize property. If it's set, folded containers will have the specified size, otherwise they will continue using CaptionHeight. Stoyan

	Hello Stoyan ! I have a last question for you ! I still LOVE that new feature ! So my question is the following : "with this new feature, is there a way to set this foldedSize per Container ?" I would like to be able to set some differend folded sizes Thanks again. I hope it's possible.

	Hi Amaury , It's not possible. We can add per-container properties for the V5.3.5 release. Stoyan
