best resize stack handling?

[Ralph DiMola]

I have never needed to call my resize routines more than once. Don't know
why you are having a problem. Try turning off messages and the change the
screen size and the turn messages backup on and run you routines from the
message box and see if it take 2 calls. If so look into your handlers. Also
I had some problems in my resize handlers because I had a wait inside one of
the handlers. I contacted support and Mark told me that any waits of any
form inside a resize stack message path will cause problems. See if this
might be your issue. This behavior started in 6.6...

Subject: best resize stack handling?

Hello,

 

Using LC 6.6.2 on Win 7

I am having a dynamic GUI layout, where I adapt sizes and positions of all
GUI elements on resizeStack.

In general it works as expected. Only when resizing the stack window very
fast, or using the maximize/minimize window button, my resizing handler
doesn't catches up and messes the size of some of the objects. With a double
call of my resize handler I found a solution, which works fine for me, but
it doesn't looks very sophisticated:

 

on resizeStack pNewW,pNewH,pOldW,pOldH

      myResizeStack pNewW,pNewH,pOldW,pOldH

      wait 0 with messages

      myResizeStack pNewW,pNewH,pOldW,pOldH

      pass resizeStack

end resizeStack

 

What are your experiences and technics for resizing?

Thanks

Tiemo
