Causes a stack window to display its contents changing during resizing, instead of redrawing the contents after the window is resized.Syntax:

set the liveResizing of <stack> to {true | false}

Examples:

set the liveResizing of stack "Hello World" to false
set the liveResizing of me to true

Note: The liveResizing property is deprecated, since it has no effect on any operating system currently supported by LiveCode. Its value is always treated as true.

Use the liveResizing property to create a smooth visual appearance while resizing.

When the liveResizing property is true, the window contents (including the borders) are redrawn continuously as the user resizes, so at any time, the window is displayed as it will look if the user releases the mouse button at that moment.

If the liveResizing is false, the window does not change until the user releases the mouse and stops resizing.

If the liveResizing is true, resizeStack messages are sent continually while the window is being resized, allowing your stack to update its appearance during resizing. (If the user pauses during resizing, with the mouse down in the resize box but the pointer not moving, no resizeStack message is sent until the mouse moves again.)

Changes: Deprecated from version 8.0.0.
