It's been a while since I used a CFormView but I reckon MFC creates the view, then fits it to the frame, and when the frame itself resizes, it resizes the view again. You could try alternatives like handling the WM_SIZE of the containing frame window, or waiting for a window activate message (forgot the exact message) and only then handling the WM_SIZE messages.

BTW you might want to look at Paolo Messina's excellent ResizableLib library here on Code Project:

ResizableLib[^]

It includes a class called CResizableFormView which will do what you want.
