If you leave it at the default of 4 and move its internal contents to any edge of the group, when the group's lockLoc is true the internal objects will render clipped, and when the lockLoc is false the group will expand by 4px to accommodate the control.


All the objects forming the chart have their lockLoc set to true already.

I think perhaps I am asking to much of the engine as when resizeControl is received I don’t actually reposition/resize all the objects in the chart (90+), I actually delete the objects and recreate the chart.

There’s a lot more work involved in repositioning and resizing than recreating.
