Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

This code is truly impressive and perhaps a similar style of this code in C++ was used to create the new GUI in windows XP? Your code shows that you have taken time and shown your programming knowledge to the web. Congratulations from IceWeb Systems. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
anyway, you should take a look at using sendmessage for resizing the window instead. that way, you can get the resize rectangle and windows will automatically resize the window as appropriate. (Hint: the WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN message with the wparam = a constant that begins with HT (i.e. HTLEFT to resize the left side)) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Excellent work, Works fine with regular forms. How to apply this method for a MDIForm ?
