NAME
SizeWindow -- Ask Intuition to size a window.
SYNOPSIS
SizeWindow( Window, DeltaX, DeltaY )
A0 D0 D1
VOID SizeWindow( struct Window *, WORD, WORD );FUNCTION
This routine sends a request to Intuition asking to size the window the specified amounts. The delta arguments describe how much to size the window along the respective axes.
Note that the window will not be sized immediately, but rather will be sized the next time Intuition receives an input event, which happens currently at a minimum rate of ten times per second, and a maximum of sixty times a second. You can discover when you window has finally been sized by setting the IDCMP_NEWSIZE flag of the IDCMP of your window. See the "Input and Output Methods" chapter of The Intuition Reference Manual for description of the IDCMP.
New for V36: Intuition now will do validity checking on the final dimensions. To change to new absolute dimensions, or to move and size a window in one step, use ChangeWindowBox.
However, limit checking against window MinWidth, MinHeight, MaxWidth, and MaxHeight was not done prior to V36, and these fields are still ignored (as documented) if you have no sizing gadget (WFLG_SIZEGADGET is not set). The are respected now (V36) if WFLG_SIZEGADGET is set.
New for V36: you can determine when the change in size has taken effect by receiving the IDCMP_CHANGEWINDOW IDCMP message.
INPUTS
Window = pointer to the structure of the window to be sized DeltaX = signed value describing how much to size the window on the x-axis DeltaY = signed value describing how much to size the window on the y-axis
RESULT None
