Changing the width of a stack

[Alex Tweedly]

set the width of this stack to the width of theCenteredControl

Alex.
P.S. because the central control is centered, you want to make symmetric 
changes to the left and right of the stack - and so simply setting the 
width will do that while leaving the horizontal position of it 
unchanged. Obviously, before you do that, store away the 'current' width 
so you can restore it later.
