resize a control at run time

Yes, you can use windows API MoveWindow()

first you declare it as private or public,e.g:

Private Declare Function MoveWindow Lib "user32" Alias "MoveWindow" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal bRepaint As Long) As Long

then use it in Form_Resize(), following is a sample

Private Sub Form_Resize()
'set scalemode to pixels so that it fits the API's scale mode
Me.ScaleMode = vbPixels

'center the command button
MoveWindow Command1.hwnd, Me.ScaleWidth / 2 - Command1.Width / 2, _
            Me.ScaleHeight / 2 - Command1.Height / 2, _
            Command1.Width, _
            Command1.Height, _
            True            
End Sub

Good Luck!

u can do it without api also..

command1.top = ...
command1.left = ...
command1.width = ...
command1.height = ...

note that the values will be in twips..not pixels.

And still shorter:
Command1.Move l,t,w,h

When you resize a form, an events form_resize() is called. You can then use the form dimension as refernce and modify the height, width (top, left) of your control in this event.

hi
i don't mean that, what i mean is resizing a control like at disign mode (changing its width and height using the mouse)

thanks all
xThorx I want some thing like when u ar in vbasic IDE and u want to resize the project browser for exemple, so when u are on the edge of the control the mouse pointer became a double arrow and a thin line move if u press on the left button of ur mouse.

MMAlwan

In the mouseup event, you have to change the pointer. To have a thine line, you have to draw it and to make it visible when you have the mouse down button and delete it when you have button 1 realesed.

thanks all
u may have to add something like a thin picture box to be like in vb
