These are basically mutually exclusive requirements. If you
told xforms to resize, you can't expect it magically become
unresizeable without telling it. Steve's solution may appear
to be inelegant, but it's the most direct way to achieve
what is wanted. Another possibility is to fake the form size
fl_hide_form(form)
form->w = new_width;
form->h = new_height;
fl_show_form(form,.....)
this way, objects on the form won't resize. Of course if
the new_width/height is larger than the current size,
you probably also need to change the size of background box:
form->first->next->width = new_width;
form->first->next->height = new_height;
Not exactly pretty either.
