For future referencers of this question, here is the path to find the "Show window contents while dragging" checkbox on Windows:

1. Open the Start menu;
2. Right-click Computer (or "This PC") → Properties;
3. Click Advanced system settings;
4. Click Performance → Settings;
5. Enable "Show window ...

That was it, AZJIO!!!

I had no idea that setting even existed on Windows. But I will definitley write down the process to find it.

After setting the checkbox, I went back to both your program, and the one given to me by Rashad, and they all performed as I would want them to. Now I just have to see ...

Thanks AZJIO, but I'm seeing the same behavior. The window reformat only takes place upon mouse-up. During the drag, I see an outline of the expanding window-box perimeter, but none of the interior content is reconfigured until I release the mouse button.

Looks like the Image did not come across. Myabe a raw link will https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dfnVvI ... share_link

Interesting... We're seeing different results.

Here's what I see after I have resized the initial box to musch smaller.

By making the box much smaller, I would have expected many events. But I only get one.

I ...

Thanks for your reply, Rashad. But on my system (Windows 10) using your code, the resize behaves as defined - not as I want.

That is, I recieve a single event notification upon Mouse Button Up after the resize - not many events during the Mouse-Button-Down-Drag-Resize operation. Those are the ...

I realize that # PB_Event_SizeWindow was corrected via https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66074 to only send a single event upon completion of the window resize (at least on the Windows side).

But, is there a parameter or technique that can be used to send all resize events ...

Thanks Rashad! I was thinking about going down this direction after the reply from infratec. Thanks for fleshing this out!

My particular project is highlighting line-by-line for website population. For my users, it is cleaner if all of the data is contained on a single line.

find the longest line,
create an image,
use startdrawing
use TextWidth(Text$) to get the required pixels.
You have to use the same font

Well... not the cleanest of solutions, but may be a fallback. Thanks!

I am trying to programmatically determine the minimum width to resize an Editor Gadget in order to display the widest text line, so PB won't need to generate a horizontal scrollbar. The #PB_Gadget_RequiredSize option of GadgetWidth on my Editor Gadget always returns 0 - which would indicate to me ...

That's awesome, Shardik! Thank you so much! That's just what I needed!

This forum is a great repository of coding techniques, and I use it a lot! But, I've searched the forum and I've been unable to find a solution to my current problem.

I have a multiselect ListIcon gadget, and when multiple rows are selected, I want to be able to right-click on any particular row ...
