HyperCard sends the sizeWindow message to the current card when the user or a script resizes the window. In many cases, HyperCard will send a moveWindow message immediately after a sizeWindow message.

Here are the ways a window can be resized:

The user resizes the window using the size box.
The user resizes the window using the Scroll window.
The user clicks the zoom box, and the zoom changes the window size.
A handler sets the rect of the card window to a new size.
A handler resizes all the cards in a stack by setting the rect of the card to a new size.
