Reducing image data size

Blocking resize

2008-02-18 Thread Sakari Ruoho
The documentation states on resizeControl that, '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.' which leaves me under impression, that there must be a way to block

The simplest way to do this is with imageData. Something like the following should do the trick (untested): on mouseUp put 100,100,180,180 into theRect --or whatever set the rectangle of image 1 to theRect --original image set the rectangle of image 2 to theRect --thumbnail image set

Hiya Mark, I should learn to state my problem better.. sorry for that. The basic idea is that I want the user to be able to use the pointer tool where some objects can be resized and some can't. The objects which cannot be resizen are groups with objects in them. I call them components.

Hi Sakari Ruoho, I believe you have to emulate your own pointer tool. Create tiny buttons and place them at the corners of the object you want to change. Allow the user to drag these buttons and change the size of the object while the buttons are dragged. Why do you want to do this?
