True, but sometimes certain specific applications are meant to be the =

equivelent of system-modal-- they're the ONLY thing used at the time. =

For this, resizing is nice. There's also the fact that LCD's can't =

usually do less than 800x600, so you really NEED to scale to fit =

those...

I use a sizer object in my app that Ed Leafe gave us when he did some =

consulting work. I'm not sure where he got it, or if he wrote it =

himself, or if there's a more recent version out there-- it is VERY =

thorough, going through all the objects, children, etc. Sometimes I wish =

I could just pass in some parameters telling it exactly what it should =

look for to save some CPU time(it can be CPU-intensive if you do it =

often(ie: with dynamically created objects) or have sizeable .Resize() =

events on your objects).
