I think its quite difficult. But you can do it. You have to write the code in the Mousemove event. In the mousedown event you keep some flag and set it to true, if the mouse is pressed down at the edge. Then in the move event, you should proportionately increase the width and height of the text box.

I would suggest another easier method. You could place a slider bar and when the user moves the slider bar you can increase or decrease the size of the text box.
