>>>What do you mean by auto-resizing exactly? There are many classes in Downloads section which automatically resize all controls on the form, why not use those?

>> I mean resize this particular container. Both listboxes should be centered in this container, have width = (width of container - width of buttons + some space)/2 and height = height of container - height of label - some space. Really simple code and it's already in _mover class of _FFC classes, but for some reason not in the class we have.

>IMHO, resizeability is overrated. For example, I made several apllications with Visual Extend framework. It has built-in resize-and-reposition functionality, but in every application it was turned off by uses' request. So happened, in any of my applications resizeability was never used. I believe in most cases it is from "nice to have" category.

Actually, I just listed important features, they are not ranked this way. But in my opinion, it's important to have resize for this particular container class. Right now if I drop this class on my form, I have to manually adjust listboxes and buttons, etc. to make them look right, or I prefer to write a simple code, which will correctly position buttons, labels and listboxes inside this container. I'm not talking about form's resizing feature. I believe, we have a custom class, which is part of our baseform, but the code of it is never executed, besides our forms don't have resize abilty anyway :( This auto-resizing may be a feature, controlled by some logical property, but at least, code should be available. The code itself is simple and may be just taken from _FFC _mover class.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
