I am not sure if this the place for this since the Announcement post area seemed more for LC company announcements rather than for individual program submittals, but here is an announcement for a program some may find useful. I have also submitted this through the "Sample stacks" selection on the ID...

Thanks for the response on item [1] assurance of its meaning not changing. This will help me decide which proposed script to use although having some answers on item [2]a through [2]d of prior post would have given me more needed information to decide which of the prior discussed scripts to use and ...

Thanks for the reply. I will file this one and a couple more I have into bug reports this week. Regarding my last question: "If in fact the behavior of the resizeStack message coincides with the moveStack message in that it sends the message DURING the functionality NOT at the end then does this mea...

I guess this would be in line to the moveStack message behavior discussed in post "Detect the END of a stack move not that it’s moving" with the following exceptions. All the dictionaries from LC ver 7 all the way up to the last ver 9 dictionary clearly state: "The resizeStack message is sent AFTER ...

@Fourthworld Regarding:[1] “So it seems you feel pretty confident that the use of the “pendingMessage()” function probably won’t burn me again. When did it burn you before? I meant the function “pendingMessage()” potentially changing burning me similar to the way movestack message change burned me. ...

@Fourthworld [1] Regarding your: “As for the pendingMessages function, that one is derived from information internal to LC, its format not dependent on specific OS features, and AFAIK it hasn't changed in more than 20 years; I can't foresee a circumstance that would require changing it in the future...

@jacque You recommended a more efficient way to do this than just a "repeat". I was hoping to see your recommendation in a tangible example but perhaps you forgot to include this in the post.Can you do this when you get chance. Different approaches are most appreciated. @Fourthworld. I just got in r...

@Jacque Could you provide a tangible example of what you are recommending? It would be most appreciated since if you look into my post to fourthworld below, his solution barring some differences we are still working out, seems pretty reliable so far since its not really in a "formal repeat loop". @F...

I already did. Both yield the same working and non working results that I had specified in prior posts. The alternative you provided is basically the same as mine with the exception that yours does not handle the case where the message could be sent at the end of the move. Mine handles getting the m...

You stated: “Your code continues to check the mouse state within the moveStack message, something I addressed some time ago”. Yes, you must have missed it but back in that same post there was and still a valid reason for that mouse state check there which I previously specified as: “[Agreed but keep...

@Fourthworld; Not clear on your answer. Are you trying to say that at the breakpoint I had specified below where the mouse is checked for a release which works fine in ALL versions of windows with all LC versions, you are recommending to change the breakpoint to somewhere else? If so, can you give m...

@Fourthworld (had been involved with this issue but anybody with an answer would also be most appreciated) I have tested Script "checkMouseValueOnMove.livecode" which was included in the zip of a prior post (included again in this post in case you don't want to look for it again), in win 7 and win 1...

@Fourthworld I have tested Script "checkMouseValueOnMove.livecode" which was included in the zip of a prior post (included again in this post in case you don't want to look for it again), in win 7 and win 10 and it seems to work perfectly. The mouse release is picked up correctly and I can key off t...

@dunbarx The video is showing exactly what we would want (upon release of mouse after a move on the SAME moved stack you make a function happen) but I agree with you that is not what the code is doing. You actually have to click (press and release) somewhere ELSE to make the functionality happen and...

@Jacque: With respect to the LiveResizing property, it did not seem to make a difference but I appreciate your suggestion. @FourthWorld “[Have you considered the possibility that other apps may have needs different from the one you're working on? One man's "wasteful" is another man's "thorough"]” My...
