In my prg I have DEFINE CLASS msgForm AS FORM

What I found is that if I don't do anything about the minwidth property in the class definition it has a value of -1. However, I cannot set the form width to be less than 104. If I put a minwidth = -1 in the class definition, I can set it to be whatever I want.

The behavior is replicated in the form designer. Without touching the minwidth property, I cannot get a width less than 104. However, by explicitly setting the value to -1 I can now have any width. Even if I take the minwidth value and "reset to default" I retain the ability to have any width.

I think I understand enough of what's going on to achieve the results I need, but I do find this more than a bit confusing and counter-intuitive.
