I am trying to resize a pop-up window when a check box is selected. I am resizing in order to show a table that is not normally visible. It works in design mode, but in run mode the components resize, so the table is still not visible. How can I resize the window, and keep the components at their initial sizes? ---

If you set the layout on your components to Anchored to the top and left edges of the screen, then they will not expand to fill the space when you re-size the window. You can do this by right clicking a component and selecting ‘Layout’ then choosing ‘Anchored.’ I hope this helps, ---
