    ' To use the engine, you must first pre-register each control you wish '

    '                                                                      '

    '======================================================================'
    ' To have that control Relocate/Resize properly in your dialog you     '
    ' just need to call the engine again under you dialog's WM_SIZE event. '
    '                                                                      '
    ' For example, if you wanted the control to move horizontally as the   '
    ' dialog widened just put the following under WM_SIZE:                 '
    '                                                                      '

    ' Note the example did not specify anything about the control's width  '
    ' or about it's Y position or height.  The engine only changes the     '
    ' constraints you tell it to.  All other constraints are left as is.   '
    '                                                                      '
    ' This leads us to combined commands.  You can combine commands using  '
    ' the OR operator to have cumulative effects.  Another example is in   '
    ' order.  If you wanted a control to widen as your dialog is widened   '
    ' but it should slide down as the dialog height is stretched, just do  '
    ' the following in your WM_SIZE for that control:                      '
    '                                                                      '

    ' It's that simple!  Just create a WM_SIZE entry for each control      '
    ' detailing how you want it to act when the dialog size is changed.    '
    '======================================================================'
    ' There is also a command to ERASE the entire control database in the  '
    ' event you want to rebuild the database.  An example of this would be '
    ' If you destroy and recreate all your dialogs.  Also be aware that    '
    ' This command cannot be combined with other commands.                 '
    '======================================================================'
    ' Lastly, given the simplicity of the mechanisms you can create some   '
    ' interesting effects by combining seemingly opposite commands.        '

      Not sure why it didn't work out of the box for you but it gave me the opportunity to more fully convert the Example.bas to full PBWin9 compliance.

      I used PBFORMS to spit it out quickly then modded it to use PBWin9 commands. I forgot to mod the sample treeview section though .

      Recopy the Example.bas as it should now be fully (I hope!) converted to PBWin9 commands.

        Just as a side note to anyone interested, it would be unfair to not point out there is a another excellent control resize post here:



        It allows you to preset the control's movement methods and then call a single command to resize them all. Very nice!

        In an application I was writing I needed to change some of the resize constraints on the fly and as well as add/delete controls so I built my code from the ground up to handle things one-by-one. Without trying the other post I'm not sure how you handle creating/destroying controls. I also like to see what the controls are doing in WM_SIZE so it makes some descriptive sense to me at the time something is resizing.

        It boils down to taste in the long run and I don't want others to miss out on another fine peice of code in the other post if it suits your needs better.
