If a form can be resized is set with the flags you pass to
(normally) the fl_show_form() function. If you use, for
example, 'FL_PLACE_POSITION', the form can be resized whhile
using 'FL_PLACE_SIZE' keeps it from being resized. The
'FL_PLACE_ASPECT' allows resizing but only with the same
aspect ration.

At

http://xforms-toolkit.org/doc/xforms_6.html#index-fl_005fshow_005fform_0028_0029

you'll find the whole list of the flags - those that set a size
for the form will keep it from being resized. The flags can also
be OR-ed.

Note that objects not necessarily get scaled in size with the
form - this depends on the setting of their 'resize' property.
While their set to rescale with the form per default this can
be switched off (and back on) with the fl_set_object_resize()
function.
                         Best regards, Jens
