This is the first time I'm trying to resize one of my programs, I been putting this venture of for quite some time

I need the @dlgpos() added to my example below to enable me to learn the RESIZABLE style

Below is all I got, I need someone to fill in the blanks please:

[vtol]

On the above EXAMPLE the LIST box don't stretch with the MAIN dialog

Can anyone help please

Below is the script I found on the forum:

[vtol]

Well I transposed it to my script and as I figured it won't work till I find out where the numbers 40 128 and 32 came from

If ya look in the help file under "DIALOG", you'll see what the
"DIALOG SETPOS" params are. Those you asked about are the
ones that change in relation to the size of the window. It uses
a %%center var (50% of the window width) to make things
easier than doing the repositioning from the dialog height and
width alone. On complex dialogs you might want to use several
percentage vars (10%, 25%, etc.) as markers - possibly on both
width and height.

stuff on left of center changes the width of the edit and list
elements on the left side. The EDITs top/left/height pos remain
unchanged. The LIST has its height adjusted as well, according
to the window height. The "40" numbers are how far left of center
the right side is to be, the "128" is the difference between the
listbox height and the dialog window's height.

stuff in center - the buttons they are centered using the
width of the window. "32" is half the width of the buttons since
we want the middle of the button in the center of the dialog
window. The progress bar keeps it's top pos "60" above the
window bottom (subtracts from the window height), and uses
the window width as its own.

stuff on right of center is the list on the right. Since the dialog
resizes from the lower right, the top remains unchanged, but the
left/width/height must all be adjusted. Same principle as the rest,
the numbers are in relation to the dialog window's center and size.

Bear in mind that title bar height, window borders, large fonts,
screen resolution, etc. will vary the actual results ya get with
VDS window size/dimensions on different systems.

Cheers, Mac

Vtol777, you can use this code with the first example you gave:

[vtol]

I liked your information MAC, very much, and read it somewhere else on the forum, but how come Skit3000 numbers add up and yours didn't ?

[vtol]

Hey Skit3000, I paste your answer into my script, it worked perfectly and seems so easy to understand.
Will your your example work with other scripts as well, I mean if I transpose and adjust it - etc..

It seems pritty much simple to understand

[vtol]

Heres the result RISIZABLE good simple EXAMPLE:

[vtol]

I think I see where the comunication breakdown occurs in RESIZABLE

Heres my original line:

[vtol]

I got it all transposed and it all works great on my program, but I'm having trouble with the SHAPE and Gradient Dialogs.

[vtol]

Here's an EXAMPLE that works part way with the SHAPE DIALOG:
