hi jonathan

i'm happy to see, that you thought another time about this :)

i think the best will be, to remove the RESIZABLE from the enums and
make it a simple flag, that have its own set/get functions. from my
humble point of view, properties are expensive and only necessary if the
new state have to be propagated. thats not the case for this.

have a nice day
