Making a form resizable with FormBorderStyle = None?

[harrylmh]

Hi,
I've really been struggling with this. How do I make a form resizable
with FormBorderStyle = None? I've had problems trying to get the form
to start resizing by following the mouse position(after the mouse is
at the edge of the form and starts to move out of the form with the
mouse button down)

Any ideas anybody? There's got to be an easier and more effective way
right?

Thank you for your time

Not an elegant workaround, but...

How about a transparent border?

You need to override WndProc and listen for the message WM_NCHITTEST

(I'd advise you to look up WM_NCHITTEST on MSDN)

And depending on where the cursor is, you can return HTLEFT, HTRIGHT,
HTBOTTOMLEFT, etc.

Hi, harryImh

If you want to resort to this you have to monitor non-client messages for
mouse in form WndProc and maybe PreProcessMessage. See WM_NC messages in
Platform SDK. You will need to emulate resizing behavior using such as
WM_NCHITTEST, WM_NCPAINT, WM_NCMOUSEMOVE and other.

I am not sure it is worth the effort.
