I tried that to, but it stayed put in the form.

It appears the Resize event of the form does not fire on its own in this situation.

So, I added a timer to the form that fires 100 milliseconds after the form has Inited.

The code above is added to the Timer event, plus I turn the timer OFF at the beginning of the timer event so it only fires 1 time. ( Plus I make the container invisible at first, then visible at the end of the time event..... to eliminate 'flicker').

This worked!

Thanks!!!
