I have a few controls, and the user can select to use them or not, though a options box. And what I want to do it if the user wants it, it will show and if not, it wont, but at the same time adjust the size of the frame according to what options the user wants...

Now what would be the best way to do this?

Also what are VERY user friendly colors for forms?

Thanks alot,

Adam

well, you can use a loop to hide all the controls in a form (setting its visible property to false)

as for the colors, i often use a blue scale, what d'you think??

IMO, it is better to use the System Palette for the color of form's and controls, and not force a specific color scheme on a user. I mean, how would you feel if you installed an application, and it had a color scheme that you couldn't change, and didn't reflect any themes/schemes in use by your system.

Well yeah, which would require ALOT of code and a bad looking GUI...

I would looking for another, more advanced / easier way.

I also like blue.
