I've done resizing of editboxes in the past. It was where I had a listbox above an editbox. The user could grab the border between the two controls and move it up and down, thereby resizing both controls. I did it with an invisible line between the two controls. Set the Mouse Pointer for the line to the Vertical Resizer Pointer. Then I used Drag and Drop methods to let the user drag the line up and down. When the user dropped the line, I resized the two controls and moved the line to proper locations and sizes.

You could do something similar with a small invisible box over the bottom right hand corner of your editbox. Let the user drag and drop it, then resize the edit box and move the invisible shape.
