I have a form with the following properties set:

ShowBorder = True
ShowCaption = False
ShowCloseButton = False
ShowIcon = False
ShowShadow = False

If I set the height of this form < 48 then I get the following error:

Invalid argument.
Line: 11311

This is now fixed.

Hi Tim.

The May 3rd build does indeed fix the height problem but setting the width <
4 causes the same issue.

Setting either the width or height to 0 appears to do nothing (the form
dimensions remain as they were).

Lots of weirdness if the caption, icon and shadows are showing and the form
dimensions are set low (this is using the default theme):

o The caption bar never shrinks and sometimes can't be dragged if the height
gets small enough.

o The shadow moves to the other side(s) of the form.

o The Invalid Argument error is shown if the width is set less than 80
(ShowIcon=True) or less than 58 (ShowIcon=False).

I realize that there are size considerations when displaying the caption,
icon and shadow however it might be worth looking at a different way of
handling this situation. Perhaps supporting a minimum form size
(constraints) or simply removing the caption, icon, shadow, etc. if the size
gets too small.

Rick,

I'll make sure this is fixed.

You can't set dimensions to 0 for elements in IE, so they are ignored.

The caption bar is part of the theme, so it uses a fixed height.

<< o The shadow moves to the other side(s) of the form. >>

I'll make sure this is fixed.

The form should be enforcing the minimum size as the caption height, border
height/width, etc.   I'll double-check this when I fix the above.
