ABSTRACT:
The present invention allows windows, defined without any explicit resizing parameters, to be resized appropriately to the types of controls contained within them. The approach is to “walk-through” the dimensional definitions for the controls, their sizes and positions, and the dimensions of the window itself. With this information, rows and columns are defined and identified as resizable. When the window dimensions are changed, the changes in height and width are distributed among the resizable rows and columns.
