maxWidth

Type

property

Summary

Specifies how wide a stack window can be made when it's resized.

Syntax

set the maxWidth of <stack> to <pixels>

Description

Use the maxWidth property if you want the user to be able to resize the stack window, but no larger than a width you choose.

The maxWidth is the maximum width in pixels. The width does not include the window's borders.

The maxWidth property does not prevent a handler from changing the stack's width property (or related properties such as the rectangle). It affects only user actions. If you set the stack's width to a value greater than the maxWidth, it is reset to the maxWidth when you close and reopen the stack.

If the stack's resizable property is false, the setting of this property has no effect.

note

The current architecture uses 16-bit signed integers for all co-ordinates, which means that the value range is -32768 to 32767.

Examples

set the maxWidth of the defaultStack to 300

set the maxWidth of stack "Prefs" to the height of stack "Prefs"
