Trigger resizeControl?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Richard,

I love your precision sense ;-)
And you are right: I did not answered the question Scott asked.
Nevertheless knowing all these messages that can be automatically  
sent to any stack by just setting a custom property appropriately  
stays unknown and valuable for stacks running in the IDE.
Not for you who know that since decades :-) but for those who might  
be interested in, selecting "Development/Plugins/Plugin Settings"  
will show the list of all messages that can be sent:

revCloseStack
revEditScript
revIDChanged
revMouseMove
revMoveControl
revNameChanged
revNewTool
revPreOpenCard
revPreOpenStack
revResizeControl
revResizeStack
revResumeStack
revSaveStackRequest
revSelectedObjectChanged
revSelectionChanged
revShutdown

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
