Thanks Richard. I just submitted a note to the resizeControl
dictionary entry. However, I didn't know until I read your email that
the resizeControl message is sent even when the resize happens by
script - that's the opposite of what the dictionary says. I don't
mind submitting another dictionary note for that but want to check
that it only applies to group resizing not resizing of any controls?

For most of LC/Rev/MC's life, the resizeControl message was
consistently sent only after the user stopped performing a resize
action with the pointer tool.
But in v3.5 RunRev introduced behaviors and some new enhancements to
group objects to allow folks to make custom controls like the
DataGrid.
In addition to being sent continuously as the control is resized (to
allow your custom control to adjust its contents), that message is
also sent to the control whenever it's resized by any means, such as
a script adjusting its rect, rather than strictly when the user is
interacting with it using the pointer tool.
Useful as these enhancements are, it seems they're described only in
the engine change log and the Dictionary entry for the resizeControl
message hasn't been updated.
Anyone here got time to either add a user comment to that entry and/
or file a documentation bug report at the RQCC?
