Hi Malte,

just tested LC8 DP16 in the IDE and a standalone and it works.

I send from a button

on mouseUp
   send "resizeControl" to grc 1
end mouseUp

grc 1 has the script

on resizeControl
   put "resizeControl " && the milliseconds into field "fRes"
end resizeControl

the behavior is

before resizeControl
   beep
end resizeControl

Kind regards
Bernd
