I may be mistaken but I don't believe this is practically possible since you
would have to update the stacks source image during the resize.  One thing
you might do is provide several fixed sizes that users can choose from to
resize the stack, and control to toggle the different stack sizes.  This is
somewhat analogous to the WindowShade effect in pre OSX Mac systems that
allowed you to expand and collapse windows.

Dynamic updating of window shapes certainly makes the case for having window
masks based on draw polygon points rather than bitmap images.
