resizing of window

[Jose Martinez]

Pavel,

That worked great!  Thanks a lot.

Is there are a way to change the window size from within the app?
 
thanks
jose

Hello,
Window has width and height properties, you can register listeners to them.
With regards,
Pavel

To support this I would need to be notified that the window size has changed and have access to the new window dimensions.  From looking at the Stage and Window classes I do not see any way to register a call back on window resize.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

I did some tests and was happy with the performance of the scaled root Parent, but did see flickering and objects disappear (I am not too concerned about this yet because I was doing live scaling changes, versus through an options section from the title screen).  The problem that I did have was that I was not able to change the window size.  I tried using Stage.setHeight/setWidth and Stage.sizeToScene, but the window remained unchanged.  I would first create a new Scene that matched the new dimensions, update my Stage with the new Scene, then change the dimensions of Stage.  Is there a way to change the window size from within the app?
