Message Sent when Resizing Widgets: Workaround

[Bob Sneidar]

I wholeheartedly agree. But one of the most endearing qualities of Livecode, at least to me is that if something doesn’t work exactly the way I want, I can make something that does. The Datagrid is the offspring of this. I remember days when a lot of devs were clamoring for a table object that actually behaved like a table! What Trevor Devore gave us was a group object that did practically everything that everyone wanted in a table object, and then a bit more! I cannot imagine developing in Livecode now without it. I’m sure it was a collaborative effort, but I think Trevor led the charge. Take a little time and read up on his bio. Pretty incredible.

Every widget should be able to handle OR pass  through (just like every Livecode field, button, scrollbar, etc.) resizeControl, mouseEnter, mouseWithin, mouseLeave, mouseDown, mouseDoubleDown, mouseStillDown, mouseUp, mouseDoubleUp, and probably a bunch more.
