Possible to resize the SBT window?

[captsnappy]

We're running SBT on Windows 10 machines. Cannot resize the main SBT window. Was this ever possible? I cannot remember. Some users are asking how to resize.
Thanks!

I am not sure if it can be done with a setting change.
What version are you using ? Do you have the source code ?

Ye Olde 5.0i. I do have source code, I do have VFP 5.0. I was looking yesterday for the SBT main window form. But maybe it isn't a form?

Thanks, Edgar.

Program file: SBT.prg
Look for :
MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN ;
TITLE "SBT Pro Series" ;
ICON FILE "PRO.ICO" ;
NOGROW ;
NOZOOM ;
NOCLOSE

Change to For example:

MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN ;
TITLE "SBT Pro Series" ;
ICON FILE "PRO.ICO" ;
NOGROW ;
NOCLOSE

This allows user to be able to max main window.

Good Luck

Thanks for telling me where to look, Edgar. But my users want to resize the main window - it already is maxed when they run it.
From looking at the VFP9 documentation seems like I should replace

NOGROW
with
GROW

from the doc:
GROW
Allows you to resize a user-defined window using the keyboard or mouse. If you omit GROW, you cannot size the window except using the SIZE WINDOW command in a program or in the Command window.

NOGROW
Prevents the window from being resized except by the SIZE WINDOW command in a program or in the Command window.

And maybe replace NOZOOM with ZOOM in order to let users maximize...

Bigger question now: what unintended consequences might I see with these mods? I have to wonder why SBT didn't allow for window resizing?
