Changiing the height of a stack

[Pete (Molly's Revenge)]

Well, I guess I was misled by the dictionary then because it says:

   If a control's *lockLocation* property is false, when you change its
height, it shrinks or grows from the center:  the control's top and bottom
edges both shift, while its location property stays the same. If the
control's *lockLocation* property is true, it shrinks or grows from the top
left corner: the control's top edge stays in the same place, and the bottom
edge moves.


That's exactly what I want to happen with the card.


But changing the rectangle works as well so at least I can do what need to
do.
