Clever Geek Handbook

When should you use a sizing handle (form windows)?

Should it be used for all significant forms, or only when it is not hard to guess that the form is significant? Is there a GUI convention?

Any link to documentation would be appreciated.

According to the Vista User Guide:

Resizable windows should no longer show glyph changes in the bottom right corner because:

  • All sides and edges of the window are resizable, not just the bottom-right corner.
  • The glyph requires a status bar to display, but many resizable windows do not provide a status bar.
  • Resizable window borders and more efficient pointers at reporting that a window is resizable than a resize character.
