>>I know what you mean. Sometimes though, I found that I had no other choice but to make the changes via code. For example, I have a "splitter" control to change the height of two containers on my form. One container is above the other and the splitter is in between. When the splitter is dragged up or down, it needs to resize the two containers accordingly (thru code).

>I guess you are right Mike, code maybe the way to go. One thing I had wanted to know at the outset of this thread is that; is Anchor, however remotely, developed for a replacement for rezise() code?

For simple form layouts I find that the anchor property is a good replacement for resize code.

If you have access to Advisor Guide to Microsoft Visual FoxPro, there is an article, "Visual FoxPro Resizable Forms the Professional Way" By Mike Lewis. I believe it is from the July 2006 issue. Its worth a read.
