Frank, I've played with this for a bit, and it does allow resizing the window. I succeeded in making a bunch of things resizeable by adding the appropriate controls (IDC_STATIC_HEADER_TITLE, IDC_STATIC_WELCOME_TITLE, IDC_VERSION, IDC_URL_LIST, IDC_EDIT_USER_URL, IDC_BUTTON_ADD_URL) to the DefaultControlsInfo list (see below for exact changes). I'm assuming that if something is anchored on the opposite sides (left-right or top-bottom), it's going to stretch along that dimension when resized. FWIW, the three lines below with URL in them make the mirror list selection dialog almost fully resizeable. One thing I couldn't do was actually make the chooser resizeable (i.e., the one that started the whole rigamarole). Notice in the changes below that I'm anchoring the IDC_LISTVIEW_POS in the same manner as IDC_URL_LIST, which should have worked, but didn't. Do you have an insight as to why? Also, I didn't see any provisions in the code for handling more than one element of a particular type (e.g., if there is more than one IDC_STATIC control). Does this mean that every control has to have a distinct resource type? Another thing I noticed was that when things were resized, the new sizes weren't calculated quite right. For example, when IDC_VERSION was made resizeable in the vertical dimension, and the screen was returned to the original size, the Version label still covered the text string below it.
