01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

MoveControl takes object, row and column. ResizeControl takes object, width and height. The historical reference does not establish uniform units or support in current clients; verify the runtime. These names are not interchangeable methods on arbitrary UI objects. The block only prepares calls for a compatible caller-supplied control. (Sources: refs. 1–1.)
