Thanks Bonnie. I already wrote some resize code that works good, now I just have to check how it compares to M$ :)
I could have swore I ran into some properties that would retain proportions, but it bust have been the Borland C++ Builder.

>>Hilmar,
>>Thanks for the reply. It is not me that I want to prevent from modifying the proportions, it is other devlopers that I am designing a custom control for that I don't want to modify the proportions of their object at both design and run time. I designed a control that I want to be square and I don't want somebody else to change it to rectangular.
