It's been a long time since I've had such a simple concept cause me such a large headache, so I can honestly say that this is one of the code snippets that I'm most proud of right now.
What's the basic concept here?
Just make a resizable screen that refuses to go beyond the minimal/maximal boundaries set for it.
I'm not going to go into all the issues I ran into coming up with this, but if you want a nice challenge, try it for yourself -- Just write a simple little program with $RESIZE, where you can limit the minimum and maximum size that the user can drag that window and make it.
The only solution I found to this issue was to completely sidestep out of QB64 itself and step back over into glut, and make it do all the heavy lifting and work for us. 
If one of you guys can come up with a native way to do this reliably with just QB64PE code, I'd love to see it. I've broken my brain trying to get things to work as intended here. (And I'm still not 110% certain that it still isn't going to break under some odd condition which I'm just not finding with my own testing at the moment!)

Great demo!
Trying to write a program using only QB64pe code, I got failure...
It seems that the keyword SCREEN does not trigger the adjourn/redraw of window's surface.
Moreover trying to use _ScreenMove or _ScreenHide & _ScreenShow the redraw of the surface of the windos has been activated only sometimes. So you get this result showed in followinng screenshot.
![[Image: immagine-2023-10-11-164852416.png]](https://i.ibb.co/q743fvr/immagine-2023-10-11-164852416.png)
As showed by picture, the dimensions of _Width are not adjourned, and the same happens for _Height.
So we get a window with a regular area drawn plus a black (not drawn) area extra dimensions.
Feedbacks welcome!

Here was my attempt from a year or so ago to do a resizable window that kept a minimum size for some features in the window. there's a whole bunch of stubs in here that aren't in this copy but nothing that impacts the functionality (such as it is). It's not very well documented and I'd likely do some things differently today but it has some of that snapping behavior and makes no external calls. This isn't presented as anything better, just how I tried it once.

I've tried your approach, and it's not quite the same as what I've came up with here. What you're doing in the doresize sub above is basically setting a minimal size and then creating a new screen of that size, while freeing the old one. It works at maintaining your program size, but the window size can become smaller than that, only revealing a portion of that program, such as in the program window capture below which only PRINTS the windows WIDTH and HEIGHT to the screen.
![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/DCKtJMG/image.png)
As you can see (if you click to enlarge the picture itself), the program is 40 characters wide and 25 rows high -- but the window itself is only showing about 15 by 25 characters. The whole screen isn't visible and accessible for us, as part of it is offscreen with the window undersized. 
What I'm doing with the glut calls in my demo is forcing the program to snap back to those minimal/maximal bounds, keeping the whole screen accessible for us at all times.
