Handle the <resizeStack> <message> if you want to update the position of <object|objects> or do other tasks when the <stack window> changes size.

The <resizeStack> <message> is sent when the user resizes the <stack> by dragging its size box. It is also sent if a <handler> changes the size of the <stack> by changing its <properties> (<width>, <height>, and so on).

The <resizeStack> <message> is sent after the resizing is finished. This means that you cannot prevent a <stack|stack's> size from being changed by <trap|trapping> this <message>. If the <stack|stack's> <liveResizing> <property> is true, <resizeStack> <message|messages> are sent continuously during resizing, but you still cannot prevent resizing by trapping the <message>.

On Mac OS X systems when the <liveResizing> <property> is true and on all other systems, the <oldWidth> and <oldHeight> for each <resizeStack> <message> is the same as the <newWidth> and <newHeight> for the previous <resizeStack>. The <stack|stack's> original <width> and <height> are passed only with the first <resizeStack> <message> sent during a resize operation.

The screen is locked while a <resizeStack> <handler> is running, so it is not necessary to use the <lock screen> <command> to prevent changes from being seen. (However, the <lockScreen> <property> is not set to true.)

>*Note:* If the <stack's vScroll property> is nonzero, the amount of scroll is not included in the <newHeight> and <oldHeight>. This means that the <parameter|parameters> of the <resizeStack> < message(keyword)> are always equal to the <stack's height> before and after resizing, regardless of the <vScroll> setting.
