But Gambas is NOT Microsoft visual basic clone.

vb is vb.  it works how it works.
gambas is gambas.  it works how it works.

I don't hink it's right to say the vb way correct and gambs in not
justified in how it works?

If you want your gambas application to behave exactly the same as microsoft
basic then you should code it to do so.

And like i explained you can set the minimum size for your modal window in
the IDE or when creating it then grow it when it opens.  then it CAN shrink.
