Detect ResizeStack completion?

[depstein at att.net]

Has anyone found a good way to detect the COMPLETION of a stack's resizing?  
The resizeStack message gets sent continuously while the stack is being 
resized, and I want to know when the user has finished resizing by releasing 
the mouse.  An approach using "the mouse" works ok on my Mac OS9:

on resizeStack w,h
  if the mouse is up then doComplexThings
  -- only happens when user releases mouse at
  -- end of resizing

But this does not work on Windows; and Metacard Help advises never using "the 
mouse" in this way.  What is the best alternative?  

Many thanks.
