Hi Edward
Try following:
go to the Event of Form_Paint() and write
ListBox.Top = 10
ListBox.Left = 10
ListBox.Height = me.Height - 20
ListBox.Width = me.Width - 20

me is the Form itself and the Value of 20 must be adjusted for your Form.
if you have a Scrollbar then is mayby 200 nice.

Chris!

ur idea seems to be good except, if the size of the list box is small then there is a possibilty of control n the form to flicker!!!
i hope i m correct, coz Paint event is generally avoided if u want to resize controls instancing on the object!!

[Chris67]

yes, and just use 'on error resume next' statement to ignor all errors

are u replying to my post???? i m not saying any error occurred in your method!!
but if u use a larger value instead of 20, then the form n the contained controls will flicker!!

PS - maybe i m wrong..........i m saying coz this is a common problem with Paint event!!

[Chris67]

I'm not sure if the flicker an coz problem but if you play with the Values you get a better result, 20 was just a example.
The Error handle must be integrated because if you minimized the Form you get errors.
