But there is one thing I never could solve ...
How to allow the end user to resize an object (picture) using handles.
If anyone knows, it would be my pleasure to know.
Thank you.Feli.

I missed your initial post.
The only way I can think of doing it is with additional buttons (normally hidden from view) that allow you to adjust width/height in fixed increments/decrements ... i.e. no drag and drop method.
You would need a palette of buttons (incWidth, decWidth, incHeight, decHeight, allDone) and a TextEntry or Listbox to enable user to set/select number of pixels to be adjusted each time a button is clicked.
It would get more complicated if you also needed to ...
- move the object such that its center is maintained
- have the aspect ratio maintained with each width/height adjustment
- have special needs about objects rendered above/below adjacent ones as a result of the adjustmentsIs this something you can live with in lieu of drag and drop ?

An ImageWindow is moveable but not sizable.
However, a CustomWindow can be Sizable (instead of as Dialog Box), and that is perhaps what you want. As another solution, each picture can be a book or separate pub that is sizable and moveable, without a title bar. You can insert code to instantly scale each picture's dimensions when its window is Resized - action. If you compile them as runtime packages (requiring NBPlay5.exe) they will be small in size. A master control pub can then control them with CloseApp and SendKeys actions, etc.
