I'm trying to write a handler that resizes the contents of a group when the group border is resized. Say the group consists off a field and a button. Within the group script I've put this:
on mousemove set the rectangle of fld 1 to the rectangle of me end mousemove
If I change the group size manually (without this script inside) and then execute the set rectangle command from the message box, it acts as expected: the field sizes to the size of the group border. However, when I use the mousemove handler, as soon as the mouse cursor enters the group borders, both the group and field sizes start expanding automatically. They will eventually expand off the screen.
A group will normally resize to accommodate its contents. If the group has a margin setting > 0 (and probably a borderWidth > 0) this means that as the field rect gets set to the group rect, the group will then expand again to retain its margins and border settings.
There are probably a number of ways to achieve what you want, but it will depend on your specific circumstances. For example, how/when is the group resized? By script, or by the user dragging on a border?
Possible ways:
Set the margins (and borderwidth) of the group to 0.
Set the lockLocation of the group to true. (May need to be toggled if the group resizing is done manually.)
Instead of resizing the group, just resize the field.
Instead of resizing the group, use a "dummy object" such as a graphic and resize that, then set the rect of the field to the rect of the "dummy object".
