moveControl
# Examples
on moveControl -- in a button script -- move the same-named field to be below the moved button: set the topLeft of field (the short name of the target) \ to the bottomLeft of the target end moveControl
# Description
Handle the moveControl message if you want to respond to the user's movement of a control. For example, you can create a moveControl handler that responds to movement of a button by moving fields out of the button way.
The moveControl message is sent only if the user moved the control. This message is not sent when a handler moves the control by changing its location, rectangle, or other properties.
The moveControl message is sent after the movement is finished. This means that you cannot prevent a control from being moved by trap this message.
