A stack that grows and shrinks smoothly is possible but difficult to pull off (arbitrary resizing is unlikely). You will need to have multiple bitmaps embedded in the stack that reflect each "in between" states of the stack's dimensions (ie think of a panel sliding out from the side or bottom of the stack or a stack that grows/shrinks to fixed sizes). The alternate way to do an expanding stack is to employ 2 states, with 2 bitmaps: one bitmap has the stack in a normal mode, and the other bitmap has the stack in its expanded mode. You then provide a button to toggle the windowshape between the two states and use the appropriate bitmap accordingly. Remember that you must make both bitmaps identical in size, meaning the the "normal" mode bitmap will have a transparent region, while the "expanded" state bitmap will have the same region opaque. A bit difficult to describe using words -- let me know if this doesn't make sense...
