I mean dialogs like messagedlg or simple input forms like "Goto line".
Resizing of such dialogs makes them ugly and is not needed.
Also some dialogs can be resized only in one direction (width or height).
For example find dialog need to be resized horizontally (to see more text
in the input field), but not need to be resized vertically (it has no
benefits, but will make it ugly).
Under "internally resizable" I mean that dialog can adjust its size based
on its contents, but user can not size it manually.
AFAIK the form size and its content is not completely under control of the
LCL. So only the most simplest forms can be made fixed size.
Sure. If resizing do nothing useful for particular dialog, there is no need
to allow user to resize it.
As the IDE
should run on half implemented and buggy widgetsets, I recommend to limit
the user only for technical reasons (e.g. not because 'a user can make my
program look ugly').
It can be some sort of "Debug mode" option/define in IDE/LCL to be used in
such situations.
Of course we could add an option for the MessageDlg, so that applications
can limit the user.
IMHO MessageDlg need not be resized at all in any cases.
