Groups get the message when resize happens by script.
Other objects only receive the message when resized by hand.

Except, the "PowerButton" widget actually receives "resizeControl" just as a group does when its rect is changed by script control (as well as by user manipulation of its resize handles). So it *is* inconsistent. Or, at the very least, poorly documented.

And, for my purposes, if the PowerButton can received a resizeControl handler, I'd really like to see the PDF widget get the message also. The XPDF external requires, as its target for a drawing area, a Graphic inside a Group, and the containing group gets resizeControl. You can use that resizeControl to show/hide scrollbars as appropriate based on zoom; set the scroll to keep a highlighted part of the PDF in view when resized; and more. For a migration path from the XPDF External to the PDF Widget, the PDF Widget should support resizeControl as well.
