What sort of layout were you working on that riggered this "panic"?
I very simple resize of some fields and move the button at the

All I wanted was to quickly have something that just worked, but
I couldn't risk all the object flying off into outer space, so in
the end bodged up something for the demo.
I'd like something that was half way standard that I could use in
all my scripts.
What do you mean by "standard"?
Well there are a number of standard things you might want to do, such
as move the bottom, right to grow or shrink the object, move the
object, etc. It would be nice to be able to just set a Custom Prop or
whatever that said what you wanted to happen and some "standard"
driving code pick this up and do the necessary.
I just handle the resizeStack message myself. As a simple example,
this handler will cover a simple stack with a field and two buttons
at the bottom:
I hate using hard object names in scripts and in fact I never do
except in a demo or test app. It would be good to optionally have a
handler in the object that gets run if it's defined or if not in the
group, card or stack that could read the Custom Props of the object
and perform the operation.
on resizeStack x,y
set the rect of fld "Main" to 20,8,x-20,y-48
set the bottomRight of btn "OK" to x-20,y-20
set the bottomRight of btn "Cancel" to \
(the left of btn "OK"-12),y-20
end resizeStack
I may well attempt to do some sort of "standard" implementation, but
not at the moment, way too much other stuff to do.
All the Best
Dave
