I am trying to resize a text field when I resize a stack. Are there any good examples/tutorials on how to do this? I am not sure if I can just use the geometry property or have to program for this...or both. I have read the user manual and am really confused.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Warren,

Maybe these two blog posts of mine can help you write your own resizeStack and resizeControl handlers to move and resize things:
- BorderLayout example script http://blog.quartam.com/2010/07/borderl ... stack.html
- BorderLayout example - with resizing http://blog.quartam.com/2010/08/borderl ... izing.html

HTH,

Hmm I might not be right on this one but, yes, you can just use the Geometry Property.
In fact I made a video demo for you to see what I mean. You can view the video here: http://screencast.com/t/ZjgzNmU5Zm

If, however, you need to execute or add some scripts while resizing the stack, you can use the resizeStack message on the stack's script.
