LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 18, 2026 #1 I'm asking a question that makes me feel like I'm back to elementary school, after almost 13 years of using B4X! Very simple layout, containing Pane1 and two buttons. I resize Pane1 programmatically; all good. I use the mouse to resize the Form and... Pan1 returns to its original size and position. Since it's impossible for my project to be a bug—it's too small!—this is evidently a "normal" behavior of B4J. This means, however, that it would be the same for any view I create with Designer (and all custom views MUST be created with Designer, unless they're specially created—I won't explain further here).

How to fixed control postion After changing the button position through code, I found that when the window size changes, the button position will return to its initial position.

Thanks @aeric but I'm not looking for a solution, I'd like to try to understand that strange behavior and how to avoid it, if possible. Upvote 0

LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 18, 2026 #4 I suspect, perhaps I'm wrong, that if I want to programmatically change the size of a View, I have to create it programmatically, because if I use the Designer, with the two default anchors, I will always have that problem. Upvote 0

It's very sad that I now remember having had a response like that before (uncheck "Handle Resize Event"). My poor memory... has become zero! Upvote 0
