Do you auto resize your APL+Win forms? With APL code or with a third-party control?

I've tried doing that off and on in various ways, but I never came up with anything I was particularly fond of.  But there are some APL-based utilities that can do some of that sort of functionality.

If you can, could you attach the 'def' of a fairly complex form, please.

What kind of a form are you requesting?  I never did implement any decent resizing capabilities in my applications.

I've got something (very small footprint, all in APL) working I think. To be sure, I need  to test with someone else's (fairly complex) form(s). In exchange, I'll share the code.

PS: none of the supplied workspaces with APL+Win seem suitable but for fmDemo in Rel19.w3 but that has re-sizing suppressed.

I don't think that any of my non-trivial forms will be usable outside of the application for which they were written.  Lots of external support is required and everything in the forms are connected to it with event handlers everywhere.

I've ripped all the events and external references out of a small screen that you might find useful.  I can send it to you in code or if you'd like I can set it up for you to retrieve from my APL Library Management System (called ARM).

Set me up to retrieve from ARM, please; for you it will be another test and I do not know anything about ARM (time to find out).

I've emailed you the interface and instructions.
