Remarks

The HTMLInputTextElementEvents2::onresize event fires for block and inline objects with layout, even if document or CSS (cascading style sheets) property values are changed. Objects have layout when measurements such as the IHTMLRuleStyle::height and IHTMLCurrentStyle::width attributes are set, or when the IHTMLRuleStyle2::position of the object is set. Intrinsic objects, such as button, and windowed objects, such as window and iframe, fire as expected. This event does not fire for files with embedded controls.

Resizing HTML applications also fires the HTMLInputTextElementEvents2::onresize event.

No default action.

To invoke this event, do one of the following:

  • Change the height or width of the object.

The pEvtObj parameter is required for the following interfaces:
