Nick,

Could we get a miniwindow resize handler similar to the drag handler? It would make resizing of miniwindows by users much easier.

Thanks,
Bast

Fiendish did a resize method is his chat window handler he did for Aardwolf.

It is hard to implement a general one, for the reason that if you resize a window you almost always have to redraw it (eg. reposition things). Thus a drag handler which recalculates the contents (which is what he did) should be sufficient.

Just to elaborate, Fiendish's handler, ingenious though it was, was more complex than it should have been, due to the fact that deleting and recreating windows destroys the hotspots, so he had to resort to making two sets of windows.

This convoluted solution pointed to a design flaw on my part.

Hopefully the new resize function will rectify that.
