Problem resizing ActiveX controls

from WinCustomize Forums
As the subject states, I've been having trouble resizing activeX controls ever since i updated to 2.4 I've tried the Ctrl+Drag and Object.Width/Height but to no avail. All the happens is the original control box remains and i get a blank square where it should have resized. Any ideas on how to fix this? This has happened on two seperate occasions using both the Web Browser Control and the List Box. I had no problem copying an old drop down box but could not resize.

Also while we're at it, I've also noticed my objects tend to get 'cropped' for a better lack of a term when editing other objects. this only happens to those objects with shadows set to normal level. It's easily solved by going to their properties dialog and hitting okay. This a known bug or is there something I'm missing?

Any help???

Just wanted to add that I'm struggling with resizing a ListBox as well. Don't have any experience before 2.4 as I'm working on my first widget, but I can't seem to figure out how to resize the darn thing.

sranshaft: I think I've got it figured. Click and hold down the left mouse button anywhere in the activex control, while holding down the mouse button, hit the Control (Ctrl) button on your keyboard. From here, keep holding down the Control key (Ctrl) and let go of the left-mouse button and you can drag from the edges to resize ...
