Ah, Doug, you're brilliant! But we knew that.

You're right, that form class changes borderstyle from 3 to 2 in the Init if the .lAllowResize property is set to true. I kept looking at in the designer rather than the debugger. Indeed, if borderstyle is left at 3, all 3 problems go away.

So I guess the Vista borderstyle bug wasn't completely fixed in SP2 ???

>Are you absolutely sure BorderStyle is 3? Try resizing the form and see if it works. I've only seen this effect with BorderStyle set to something other than 3. Even if BorderStyle is 3 in the Properties window, perhaps some code in the form changes it to 2. For example, I always leave BorderStyle set to 3 so I can resize the form in the Form Designer, but have a custom nBorderStyle property often set to 2, with code in Init that changes BorderStyle to the value of nBorderStyle.
