Barbara,

Curious- do the VMP base control classes have properties that let you specify if they should resize? IOW, a grid or an edit box should resize itself, and commandbuttons and labels should float with the bottom and / or right sides of the form. I haven't looked at VMP for a while, and wondered how their resize logic works.

>Frank,
>You need a resize method on your form that resizes each control when the form itself is resized. The one provide in Visual Maxframe Professional (VMP) is very good. I even took a class from the UT files, exchanged the base class of each of its many controls with VMP base classes with Search and Replace and the 'updated' class resized beautifully in my VMP form.
