>>>I'm not laughing because I have used those properties as well. I did not find this as "automatic" as I thought it would be. I could still resize the form to less than the MinHeight/MinWidth than what I specified. I had to resort to the code Gérald Santerre suggested in his response.

But if you are looking to revert the window size back to its last acceptable size, you would have to add 2 form properties and store the last acceptable dimensions in them. Then revert the form back to those values if the use resizes too small. I prefer reverting back to the minimum size to "minimize" user frustration. Although there are some user's I would like to mess with -- like make an Icon relocate itself when they position the mouse cursor over it so they can never click on it or drag it.

Well, I still don't see, by having defined MinWidth and MinHeight, how we can go within those limits. From what I understand in the first message, it seems that there is a something a user can do in order to resize the window smaller to the defined MinWidth and MinHeight.
