resizeControl is sent "only sent when the user resizes a control by
dragging its handles. It is not sent if a handler changes the size of a
control by changing its properties (width, height, and so on)."
Does anyone else really really wish that resizeControl was set when the
control's size is changed via script? I sure do!
For example, I have cards with multiple groups of objects on them. Each
of my groups (and sometimes sub-groups) have resizeControl handlers that
position everything in the groups appropriately. I do this for
portability. If I copy the group to somewhere else, the handler
(resizeControl) that knows how everything is to be moved and resized
goes with the copied group.
My card script has a "resizeStack" handler that just sets the rects of
the top level groups and dispatches resizeControl to each group on the
card after changing its rect. I really wish I could eliminate these
"dispatch" (or send) commands. I forget to include them some times,
simple expecting (even though I know better) that if I change the size
(rect) of a control with a "resizeControl" handler, that that
resizeControl handler should execute!
Anyone else wish that resizeControl would get executed if a control's
size is changed by script? It just seems counter-intuitive that it does not.
