How to detect zoombox click

[Bill Vlahos]

Craig,

That is interesting.

Dragging the stack window also generates a movestack message just like resizing a window generates a resizestack message.

Is there a way to test for a simultaneous movestack and resizestack messages? Unless I find a unique message for that control detecting simultaneous movestack and resizestack messages should do the trick.

On my Mac the resizeStack message is sent first then the moveStack message. The following script works but seems like a huge kludge. Is that order consistent between different versions or Rev/LC and on different platforms?

To test put this script in the stack and create a field called "one" and then manipulate the stack window.

global vZoom

on resizeStack
   put  the seconds into vZoom
end resizeStack

on moveStack
   if vZoom - the seconds = 0 then put "ZoomBox click" into field "one"
   else put "Move or resize" into field "one"
end moveStack

Is there a more elegant way to detect simultaneous messages?
