>>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.<

>PMFJI. I agree with this. The only exception in my opinion are forms with grids or listboxes. As an example, take the Windows explorer. If I resize the explorer it is to see more data/columns. The last thing I want is the fontsize to increase. Funny enough though, most resizing objects I have seen do exactly this by default.

Daniel,

I was not even thinking about changing fonts. I was talking about height and width adjustments of these two listboxes. In other words, then you increase the width of the container, the listboxes should increase thier width too (buttons should remain unchanged). They also should fit into container by height. Perhaps, this is the native behavior of most commercial frameworks, but we have our own little buggy framework, which has a very simple mover class. This class works with values only and doesn't support resizing or drag and drop, not to mention save-restoring features...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
