RESIZE (function)

The _RESIZE function returns true (-1) when a user has attempted to resize the program window and $RESIZE:ON has allowed it.

Syntax

IF _RESIZE THEN rx& = _RESIZEWIDTH: ry& = _RESIZEHEIGHT

Description

• The function returns -1 if a program screen resize was attempted by the user.
• After the function returns -1, _RESIZEWIDTH and _RESIZEHEIGHT can return the new requested dimensions in pixels.
• The $RESIZE:ON metacommand must be used so the program is created with a user resizable window.

Example(s)

Resize the current screen image according to user's request.

$RESIZE:ON

s& = _NEWIMAGE(300, 300, 32)
SCREEN s&

bee& = _LOADIMAGE("qb64_trans.png") 'any image

DO
    IF _RESIZE THEN
        oldimage& = s&
        s& = _NEWIMAGE(_RESIZEWIDTH, _RESIZEHEIGHT, 32)
        SCREEN s&
        _FREEIMAGE oldimage&
    END IF

    CLS

    'Center the QB64 bee image:
    x = _WIDTH / 2 - _WIDTH(bee&) / 2
    y = _HEIGHT / 2 - _HEIGHT(bee&) / 2
    _PUTIMAGE (x, y), bee&
    _DISPLAY
    _LIMIT 30
LOOP
