is there a way to set a canvas height back to "auto" when you change it? (or
maybe there is a better way to do this...)

I have a VBox that has canvases in it that have a checkbox inside.. once the
checkbox is checked and marked as "complete" it sets the height of the canvas
to 0 to make it hide and make everything appear to move up on the list. I have
an option to "show completed items" which I want to go through the canvases
again and set there height back to "auto"

Is there a way to do that? or a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Why not just set the includeInLayout property on the canvases?

Booyah! thanks I figured there was an easier solution!

OK I've started using this.. and for a while figured this was the perfect
answer.. but...

Most of the canvases are about 30 height.. but some are a bit bigger.. and
once they start setting the "includeInLayout" to false, you start seeing some
of the "larger" height's interior components visible..

why is that? I tried to do sometihng like:
<mxataGrid includeInLayout="{canvasObj01.includeInLayout}">

but it won't set that to false.

Sure there is some workaround to a glitch.. anyone know it?

Try setting both the includeInLayout and visible properties to false.
