I don't think you can do that... It is the window manager who is responsible for this. The resize event is generated when the resize finishes.

But an application which is written using pascal is doing it and i want to reproduce the same effect in my application also.

If it was windows manager that was responsible for it then how is it possible using pascal?

Thanks

It is probably window-manager dependent

Or it causes a resize event to be generated with every mouse move while changing size (it's probably the same as opaque window sizing).

You could handle the mouse down, move and up events yourself. I did this when I needed the illusion of a main window but did not want the standard windows capation bar. So essentially, the window was a frameless window. When a mouse down occurred in a predefined region of window, it moved the window around until a mouse up occured. Worked very well. I am certain the same could be done for resizeing the window.
