If you are implementing the resizing functionality to increase legibility for some users, have you considered as an alternative increasing the scaling used by Windows for the display. Each individual can change scaling from the default 100% via Control Panel >> Settings >> Display >> Scale and Layout (in WIndows 10).

While dynamically scaling the contents of a child DataWindow may be possible in theory, it would, in my opinion, likely be very difficult and complex to accomplish... which is why resizing implementations such as the Resize service in the PFC does not provide this capability.

Hi Libby;

There have been quite a few presentations at the yearly Appeon Elevate conference on resizing. Basically, a few PB eager beavers have isolated the PFC Resize service that can be used with any PB version, as follows: FYI...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the responses. From what I can tell, those links don't address datawindow resizing. The one post that says he's got it figured out provides an example which I downloaded and tried, and that just expanded the final column of a datawindow grid to the right. The font did not change, nor did any of the other columns. The object we are using works perfectly on datawindows, expanding and repositioning each field on the window to fill up the entire screen, as well as increasing the font. It seems like I'll need to try to figure out how it works so I can do the same for the drop-down datawindows. It's possible that the object I have was updated by someone else prior to my getting it, so it may not be the original one from the workaround.

Yes in either case .. child DWO's are not resized.
