Eric,
Thank you. Your script works beautifully. I think my poor understanding of drawers would have kept me from even thinking about this solution.

Scott,

Your problem comes from the fact that decorations are set to empty.
When decorations are set to empty some features like resizing are disabled.
Obviously this one too :-(
So you have to script it.

Something like:

local lAllowDrag, lDif
---------------------------------
on mouseDown
  put the mouseH & comma & the mouseV into lAllowDrag
put item 1 of the loc of this stack - item 1 of the loc of stack "Drawer" & comma & item 2 of the loc of this stack - item 2 of the loc of stack "Drawer" into lDif
end mouseDown
---------------------------------
on mouseMove x,y
  if lAllowDrag is empty then exit mouseMove
set topLeft of this stack to globalLoc(x - item 1 of lAllowDrag & comma & y - item 2 of lAllowDrag) set the loc of stack "Drawer" to item 1 of the loc of this stack + item 1 of lDif, item 2 of the loc of this stack + item 2 of lDif
end mouseMove
---------------------------------
on mouseUp
  put empty into lAllowDrag
  unlock cursor
end mouseUp
---------------------------------
on mouseRelease
  mouseUp --
end mouseRelease

Eric,
Making it simple is always good advice. Thank you. I did as you suggested and discovered that when the parent stack is moved using the standard drag handle that the drawer will report its rectangle accurately. But if the window is dragged about using some other method (my original parent stack had the decorations set to empty and used a custom drag script) the drawer continues to report the same rect, no matter its location.

My purpose is to move palette windows out of the way of a "Save" dialog sheet. I have a palette with a large drawer which is often open so I need to determine whether it is blocking the sheet. It appears I will need to construct the rect from other, known information. This seems like a bug so I will BugZilla it.

Hi Scott,

It should not be the case: a drawer moves with it parent stack (Mac OS X only of course) If I may: when you encounter such an issue, take two minutes to make a new stack x, a substack y and a button in the main stack x saying "drawer stack y": If it works this means that something in your project prevents normal behavior. Isolating a feature is always good thinking and saves a lot of time to narrow any problem.
Now, where can lies the problem?
Difficult to say ;-)
Sorry.

The rect of a drawered stack doesn't seem to be updated when the parent stack is moved. I can amend my own code in order to calculate the rect of an open drawer but I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap method for doing this.
