resizeControl

Type

message

Summary

Sent to a control right after the user resizes it.

Syntax

resizeControl

Description

Handle the resizeControl message if you want to update other objects, or do other tasks, in response to the user resizing a control.

The resizeControl message is only sent when the user resizes a control by dragging its handles. It is not sent if a handler changes the size of a control by changing its properties (width, height, and so on).

The resizeControl message is sent after the resizing is finished. This means that you cannot prevent a control's size from being changed by trapping this message.

Examples

on resizeControl -- make sure a label stays at the bottom edge
  set the top of field "Label" to the bottom of me
  pass resizeControl
end resizeControl
