OK, Thomas whats the trick to resize the editors in customize view? Do they need a blank space around them or what? I put in a banner box, 2 browsers and made a tabbed interface for the rest. I can click on my banner and it just won't resize. If I put a blank space under it, I can resize the blank space, which in turn resized the banner box, but then there's a huge gap between the banner and the details box.

The details area would be OK at that size, but the browsers need to be bigger.

Also, is there a way to stop the banner area from shrinking when the software window gets resized by the user? Or to set a default window size?

Thanks.

It is tricky Mike. You can use empty spaces. It is hard to advise since I don't know your layout. The banners will shrink to the size of the banner. Otherwise the banner will clip if it is too big.

Send me your layout and I will see what I can do.

I got it (I think). There was a control in there with the name of the software object. I moved all the editors out of it and deleted it and then reorganized everything. Seems to have worked.

So I now have officially completed my first software :D

Not too complicated a layout, and I did follow the weight loss design from my other brander I got from you. So thanks for your hard work on that one :p

Now I need to get Robosoft and start submitting it everywhere, then on to the next one
