What do you mean by "standard"?

I just handle the resizeStack message myself.  As a simple example, this 
handler will cover a simple stack with a field and two buttons at the 
bottom:


on resizeStack x,y
    set the rect of fld "Main" to 20,8,x-20,y-48
    set the bottomRight of btn "OK" to x-20,y-20
    set the bottomRight of btn "Cancel" to \
      (the left of btn "OK"-12),y-20
end resizeStack
