Resizing stack

[ibe]

I have a stack that I would like to resize using a custom handler. However, the drawing of the stack seems to be too cpu intensive causing flickering. I wanted to explore an option of resizing like LiveCode (with live resizing off) does by just drawing a frame and after the user releases the mouse button drawing the window in it's new size. I can't use the built-in resize because my window is a custom shape. Effectively I want to draw a rectangle outside the stack as shown in this picture.

Any ideas on how it could be done?

Hi Ibe,

I want to draw a rectangle outside the stack

Why not a resizable substack with transparancy ?
Best regards

Don't stacks that are transparent have to have their windowShape set? That brings me straight back to my original problem. If however I could have a transparent stack and be able to draw a rectangle during resizing that would solve the problem.
