[Gambas-user] Size of Window cannot be decreased when opened with ShowModal()

[Bruce Steers]

Thats how modal windows work.

the way around it is to set a small (minimum) size in the IDE then grow it
by code before opening.

the modal window will not shrink below the size it is set in the ide. but
if grown by code it can then shrink to the IDE set size from there.

So make the window say 100x100 in the IDE and in it's Form_Open method put

Me.Resize(300,300)
you should then be able to shrink it to 100x100 if required
