      Sets the "pack height" for the window that this container is located in. When the size of this container changes the size of the window will be corrected to be within this BoundsSize. It can be used to set the minimum and/or maximum size of the window as well as the size window should optimally get. This optimal size is normally its "preferred" size which is why "preferred" is the normal value to set here.

      ":push" can be appended to the bound size to only push the size bigger and never shrink it if the preferred size gets smaller.

      E.g. "pref", "100:pref", "pref:700", "300::700", "pref:push"

      Parameters
      • size: The new pack size. If null it will be corrected to an "unset" BoundSize.
