Re: dragging 2 windows in synch

[Scott Morrow]

Thank you for that excellent suggestion!  I may have been missing the 
forest for the drawer in this case as this seems such an obvious 
solution... now that you point it out.  I do like that drawers can open 
from different edges depending what the user might find most 
convenient.  In this case, where I'm  doing something that might 
ordinarily be done with a popup menu - if the list of items weren't so 
big -  having it scroll up without taking the window's handle with it 
is the detractor from simply resizing the stack to show the list.

It may be simpler and more consistent with the UI expectations for 
your  users to just use a collapsable panel with a disclosure triangle 
instead.  In most cases where an OS X drawer would work a collapsable 
panel will work just as well, and the convention is universally 
accepted on all modern platforms (even OS X).

Hello,
Is there a technique to maintain the relative location of a secondary
stack while dragging the primary stack.  I'm not looking to just 
update
the window location after the move has completed but to visually  
drag
it along with the window that the user is moving.  I'm building
routines for simulating drawer behaviors outside of OSX.
Well, if it's for OS 9, you're probably out of luck unless you make 
your own
custom windows and your own drag regions. The reason is that the 
moveStack
message isn't sent until *after* you release the mouse on the Mac. 
Now if
this is for Windows, moveStack and resizeStack are sent continually 
so you
could probably get away with something like:
on moveWindow
  set the topLeft of stack "Secondary" to the topRight of this stack
end moveWindow
