Help resizing 'Microsoft Web Browser' control in DesktopX

Thursday, July 15, 2004 by Nick Rogers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

How do you resize the "Microsoft Web Browser" ActiveX control in DesktopX? I can't get it to go larger than 64 x 64 pixels... Can anyone help?

If you hold down the ctrl key whilst you click on the activeX control resizing handles should appear enabling you to, er, resize it.

Unfortunately, that only resizes the black background, not the control itself...

is this a new object you have created or one you have downloaded?

I just created a new MS web browser activeX control on my desktop to test it out. When I pressed ctrl and clicked on it, the handles appeared and I resized it. There was no black background - just the control itself.

You could try locating the object in dx object navigator and editting its width and height directly from that view.

The window size updated when I restarted DesktopX.
