I have been resizing objects in forms for quite some time now and can give a little advice: I usually control the resizing of a grid through the resizing of the parent form. First I create two form properties called nOldWidth, nOldHeight and init them to the initial width and height in the init.

Then whenever the form's resize event triggers, I do this code:

private nIncWidth, nIncHeight
nIncWidth = thisform.nOldWidth - thisform.Width
nIncHeight = thisform.nOldHeight - thisform.Height

with thisform.Grid1
    .Move(.Left, .Top, .Width + m.IncWidth, .Height + m.IncHeight)
endwith


This code will resize the grid and then fire the grid's resize event where the variables nIncWidth and nIncHeight will still be valid and you can resize the column widths, etc in the resize event of the Grid. Note: it is important to use the Move method with this technique so that the objects that you are resizing only get one resize event. If you try to set the .Width or .Height separately, you will get two events and strange things will happen.

Note this technique also works for right aligning buttons and doing just about any resize effect that you could want:


with thisform.Command1
    .Move(.Left + m.nIncWidth)
endwith

for example...
