Maybe somtehing like this:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If Button1.Text = "Advanced >>" Then
            Me.Size = New Size(500, 500)
            Button1.Text = "Basic <<"
        Else
            Me.Size = New Size(300, 300)
            Button1.Text = "Advanced >>"
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Button1.Text = "Advanced >>"
    End Sub

>Hello,
