how can we register changes to the jsui object box size in 

? The coordinate system is absolute, hence a redrawing is necessary for the layout to follow suit.

 seems to only be executed automatically when the obj box is changed in patching mode, which is less practical, if at all when designing a GUI. Am I missing something? Documentation has nothing in store which would differentiate between patching/presentation.

var pr = new MaxobjListener(this.box,"presentation_rect",get_prect);

function get_prect(prect) { onresize(prect.value) }

but am hoping there is a native solution……

the code is using the MGraphics-system, if relevant.

FWIW, I do it the way you are with MaxobjListener for presentation_rect attribute. Only difference is inside the callback function I usually just call mgraphics.redraw() directly (as opposed to calling the onresize() ). It just depends on how you have your MGraphics drawing setup, since mgraphics.size will return for the appropriate dimensions for the current view mode (patching or presentation).

I think onresize() was included in javascript before "presentation mode" even existed (i.e. Max 4.something).

register resizing of jsui in presentation mode (absolute coords) ?
