Border for floating form resizing

chk

If I have one or more panels on a floating form, it's quite tricky to resize the form because only one pixel is active for resizing.

What is the best way to give the user a bigger area, where he can resize a floating form?

This is known bug. I'm thinking how it can be fixed.

Hello,

I think I know why some forms have this behaviour. It is designed like this in the docking style. I created my own style with the Style Editor and found a property called "FrameContent" which is set to 1 in the style "VS2012". This value and the corresponding area in the image have to be changed for the elements "PanelForm", "GroupForm" and "DocForm" I think. I have tested it for "PanelForm" with "FrameContent" of 3 pixels and it worked fine.

Eugene, I think you should fix this in the default styles for the next release because resizing a form with only one pixel is very hard.

Hi,

Yes, you right, changing style is a workaround. I'm trying to fix it providing glow/shadow around the window like in Visual Studio.

Thank you

Hi,

have a look at the dir where you have installed lmd. There is a folder called "tools" and in this folder there is the DockingStyleEditor.exe

Hi,

This issue is now fixed. I've implemented Visual Studio like shadows around floating forms, to provide more space for resizing. There will be minor service release very very soon.

Hi to all,

Tested here in my program using VCL styles. Works like a charm in both Windows style and others.

Thanks for this update!
