    Dynamically resize form and add text?

    Hi,

    I will outline what i'm trying to do here, and would really like to
    here your suggestions of how I can do it please.

    I have some code which finds the open internet explorer windows. I
    would like to display a form that allows the user to choose one of
    these windows. I have generated an arraylist which contains all
    internet explorer window objects, and I am able to count how many there
    are and retrieve information from each by using properties such as
    arraylist.count

    My question is how do i build a form that displays the name and url's
    of the windows? do i use labels? do I use text boxes? How do i
    automatically assign the right number to handle however many internet
    explorer windows are open? Sometimes there may be 2 windows open,
    sometimes there may be 15... etc...

    Just to stress i'm not asking how I actually determine url addresses
    etc.. from internet explorer, after much learning i can now do this.
    I'm asking about the construction of a (dynamic?) form to display this
    information.

    The idea is my user will select one of the windows they want to work
    with from this form.

    *I am a beginner please remember!

    TIA

    Gary.

    This seems to be an excellent question for the
    microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.windowsform s news group.

    Good luck with your project,
