What is autoheight?

[Guest mjs9876543210]

Thanks to everyone for the excellent information on this site.

I'm curious about one attribute in the homescreen XML -- autoheight. It's used frequently, but don't find any documentation for it on this site or anywhere else.

And it's used inconsistently. For example in the great homescreen XML tutorial at http://www.modaco.com/Tutorial-Creating-XM...ns-t233425.html , autoheight isn't used at all. But in the homescreen definitions that come on my Cingular 2125 it is sometimes not used at all, sometimes used with the value "true" and sometimes used with the value "false." Here, for example, are two of the plugins in the default homescreen for the 2125:

    <!-- SMS MESSAGE COUNT -->








    <!-- ACTIVE SYNC MESSAGE COUNT, whatever that means... -->

I'm curious when to use it all, and what values to use.

Thanks for your help,

Mike
