Make Progress Window Resizable

The copy progress window shows a resizable arrow at the edge, but is not resizable.
Especially when using long file names, a lot of the "From" directory is being truncated (see screen shot). It would be nice to make this progress window resizable to see more of the "From" directory.

It's interesting that the tool
ResizeEnable which I use to resize Windows OnScreen Keyboard in Vista can't resize TC copy progress window (though I'm not sure the resizing using such a hack would allow to show more characters of filenames in that window, because for some apps it also changes the size of the font.)

It is not enough to resize window itself, you need to resize text labels but labels are not separate windows in Delphi, they are virtual and are drawn directly to form, so only code is able to resize them.
And, resizing may be limited by setting window min/max size bounds, if you send
WM_GETMINMAXINFO message to that window, you'll get following
MINMAXINFO structure:
Code: Select all
ptMaxSize {x=455 y=192}
ptMaxPosition {x=0 y=0}
ptMinTrackSize {x=455 y=192}
ptMaxTrackSize {x=455 y=192}
So, size tracking is only allowed within zero range, and Windows will not allow to set another size until such limitation is active...

+1 for this suggestion. When you copy many files with deep folder structure you cannot even guess the file path. Is it possible to allow resizing at least in horizontal direction?

I think that currently resize may work only for a single file. When TC starts copying a new file, it probably refreshes dialog window with default size, so you can't see any result when copying small files.
