Resizing controls on winForms

Guest

For some reason I can not resize the control on winform using keyboard. However, I have to use the mouse to do it. Unlike VB6 I use to resize mostly all the controls using keyboard but in VS.NET 2003 I can not. I can only move the control using keyboard......strangly some times it works (moving only) and some times it does not. I checked all the properties ..options..you name it. I reinstalled the VS.NET completly. No chang
Am I missing anything here or is it by default

How are you trying to resize the controls with the keyboard? Are you holding
down SHIFT? You need to hold down SHIFT and use the arrow keys to resize a
selected control by a certain amount, or hold down SHIFT + CTRL while using
the arrow keys to resize a selected control a single pixel at a time.

Which keyboard scheme did you select in the profile on the start page?
