Dynamically resize the height of panels in JavaScript (ES5) Dashboard Layout control

15 Oct 2021 / 2 minutes to read

In Dashboard Layout, the height of a panel is based on its width. While resizing the panel, the height and width should be changed.

To resize the height of a panel alone, the resizePanel method is used. In this case, the cellAspectRatio property configures the height of the cells based on the cell width to height ratio (cell width/cell height ratio) when the height will not be completely adjusted to sizeY value.

Refer to the following code snippet to determine the height of a panel.

let panelContent: HTMLElement = document.getElementById("panelContent");
let panelHeight: number = panelContent.offsetHeight;
