>If I understand you correctly, you want to stop Resize of the object during the first init of the form, resize the form and then allow controls resize. Is this right? If so because you build the form and add controls with code I suggested you in the init first to resize the form to its initial Height and Width and then add Achored controls. That way you don't need any flags.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Some things are added up front, others are added later based on user choices. Things can be moved. The user can resize.

The distinction I really need to make is between programmatic and interactive changes of position.
