widthset [the] width of button to integer set [the] width of field to integer set [the] width of card to integer set [the] width of window to integer get [the] width of menuBar
The width property returns or sets an integer equal to the width in pixels of the specified object or window. Setting the width of a button, field, or card window resizes it. Setting the width of a card resizes all the cards in a stack. You can't set the menu bar's width. Note: HyperCard restricts the width of a card to 32-pixel increments beginning from 64, the smallest width. For example, setting the width of a card to 420 results in a width of 416. HyperCard maintains the location (center coordinate) of the object, expanding or shrinking it on both sides evenly. Examplesthe width of card button 1 the width of bkgnd field id 34 the width of this card the width of message box the width of tool window the width of card window set the width of bkgnd button "Next" to the width of bg btn "Prev"
