sizeWindow

Handler:

HyperCard sends the sizeWindow message to the current card when the user or a script resizes the window. In many cases, HyperCard will send a moveWindow message immediately after a sizeWindow message.

Here are the ways a window can be resized:

• The user resizes the window using the size box.
• The user resizes the window using the Scroll window.
• The user clicks the zoom box, and the zoom changes the window size.
• A handler sets the rect of the card window to a new size.
• A handler resizes all the cards in a stack by setting the rect of the card to a new size.
