Really stupid question.

[BidForYourBiz]

Since I am new, I should be entitled to some dumb questions.

I don't want my user to be able to resize the form. In looking at past post, I found some code to do that but I saw a bunch of references to something called "subclassing".

What is that? Why would you want or not want to use it?

Thanks for your patience.

Just change the Form's borderstyle to something other than the current one.

That's all he wants, Serge, don't go nuts with the API.

Acually guys, all I wanted to know was what subclassing was and when you would want to use it vs not wanting to use it. All the other stuff it great. Thanks a bunch.

Subclassing gives VB more power and control over what you're doing. For example. It can give you a change to intercept messages, and not have VB process them, or it can give you a chance to gain access to events that you normally don't have access to in VB.

you use it when you need information from other places (other windows, windows itself.....) and you don't want to use it when the function is easier (usually not faster though :'(...) in VB

Simply, simply way

in the for resize event said that ANy of the control in the form MUST have only one size.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exampol

private sub form_resize()
form2.whith = 5000
form2.height = 1500 ' the form cant be anymore smaller or bigher

' then the controls
text1.top= 350
text1.left= 350
'text1.whith = 5000
text1.height = 5000
text2.top = text1.top + text1.height
'and so one
' remember for each control to specify the top and the left from the left and top of the form, plus the height and whit from the other control. like: text1.top + text1.height

end sub

you jave to play a litle whit the "hieght" and "whith" value, renmember the title bar hieght value is around 350. This is the real top of the form's working area.
