When should sizing grip (windows Forms) be used?
Question
Should it be used for all sizable forms, or only when it is not easy to guess that a form is sizable? Is there a GUI convention to use it?
Any link to a documentation would be appreciated.
Solution
According to the Vista User Experience Guidelines:
Resizable windows no longer must show the resize glyph in the lower-right corner, because:
- All sides and edges of a window are resizable, not just the lower-right corner.
- The glyph requires a status bar to display, yet many resizable windows don't provide status bars.
- The resizable window borders and resize pointers are more effective at communicating that a window is resizable than the resize glyph.
