At this point I'm pretty sure the "AutoSize" is fitting the last hSizer which contains 3 buttons. I added a large spacer between the buttons and the dialog AutoSize's to fit the buttons. Making the spacer smaller causes the dialog to AutoSize to fit the smaller buttons. So at this point I have Turned off: SaveRestorePosition = False AutoSize = False The grid on the form is dynamic. It gets the number of columns, headings, data source from a meta table. So the grid can have 1-5 columns. So is there a way I can determine the width of the largest object on the form? Then I could set the width of the dialog. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
