[RESOLVED] How to detect when Mouse is Clicked on the Form lower right corner ?

[LorinM]

I the resize event I need to maintain the aspect ratio of the form width vs height.
The resize event is not triggered as I have not dragged yet.

OR

How to get the Form_Resize event to trigger as I drag the right corner.
I cannot use the status bar.

Somehow use the Timer control?

Sample code please.

a suggestion is to have a way to resize your form using a shortcut key. like F11. that way u don't need any resize functionality, like a function that will center the form and resize the way u want. like 200% or fullscreen or whatever.
but if u want to resize, the best way would be by subclassing. theres many examples. just do a google search or use the search function.

Thank you for your response.

The user needs to be able to mouse move and resize this form.

I found a way using a Timer Control to solve it.

I have the timer hit the ResizeEvent subroutine from the Form_Resize event several times and use DoEvents.

I do but rarely use subclassing thanks to the gentleman who developed IDE safe subclassing.

its not 100% to use a timer. it can "slip". but if its works, why not.
