I apologize about my non-explanation. The Moment of Enlightenment hit me only 2
seconds after I pressed Send. The resizevent is sent whenever a window changes
sizes. I would have a callback connected to the event that would make sure the
geometry of objects would stay the way I wanted them. i.e. If I wanted an
object in the bottom half of the window to stay 1/3 the size of the top, then
that function would take care of that whenever the window was resized. I'll
check out the two suggestions, and let you know if I find what I'm looking
for. Thanks a bunch!
