Hi, I want to know how I can stop the window from being resized when the window gets too small, I don't want the window to get any smaller than the height of 1000. I tried detecting when it was 1000 or less and moving it to the same height of 1000 but that just looked really weird. Any ideas?

thanks

Hm...try timers ^_^ like something along these lines. Or you could also do it in the Form_Resize event :
------------

(Toggle Plain Text)

If formname.height < 1000 then
formname.height = 1000
end if

any way to stop the flickering?

Your welcome ^.^ And the cause of the flickering is the constant timer going on and on [if you put a low interval], which is why I would recomend the form_resize event

any ideas?
thanks

Hm. Do you also have a timer? And also, does it flicker when you resize the form, or all the time/

nope, doesnt have a timer. it doesnt flicker all the time just when the form is being resized to lower than 1000, its not really a flicker just the arrow keeps dragging and u can see the window being resized and set back really quickly. anyway to just specify the x and y max and min values so it will just not let the form be resized past the values.?

thanks for the help
