If I understand your desire, it is to run a form which contains an EditBox control, and allow the user to resize the EditBox within the form? It sounds like you want the borderstyle of the EditBox to be like the default borderstyle of the default form class '3 - sizable (default)'. The EditBox control offers two borderstyles: 0 - None, 1 - Fixed single (default). What I have done to allow resizing an editbox control, is put the Editbox in a form with a resizable borderstyle and allow the form's Resize() event procedure to proportionately alter the dimensions of its objects. Hope this helps.
