How to detect zoombox click

[Ken Ray]

Bill,

I have this in my Scripter's Scrapbook, but admittedly it's from 2006 so it may not work... but give it a shot, it detects a maximized and restored window:

on resizeStack newW,newH,oldW,oldH
  if the platform is "MacOS" then put 20 into tAdjust
  else put 0 into tAdjust
  if newW = (item 3 of the windowBoundingRect)-tAdjust then
    put "Maximized"
  else
    if oldW = (item 3 of the windowBoundingRect)-tAdjust then
      put "Restored"
    else
      put oldW,oldH,newW,newH
    end if
  end if
end resizeStack
