I am too - and that's the issue - I need to set a controls "repaint" to false while the resize is in progress and then back to true when it completes. As you do it and I do do the resize is a series of requests every cyclt of the clock - it looks good! It would be nice if some window API provided a messenger for a mouse down on a form's border. The project could check the mouse pointer for a non-default state (like the "border grabber"). That way the project would know the resize started when the pointer came on and it would know when it ended because the pointer reverted to default!

I guess I want to mix a snap-to atrribute with a real time resize engine.

Thanks!
