Gustavo,

Knowing the reason the warning is there will help you judge what you can and 
what you shouldn't move or resize.

There are many apps that grow the dialog and insert their own controls at 
fixed positions. There are also some applications that disable a group of 
controls and then shrink the dialog to make them invisible.

It is generally OK to change the dimensions of the controls a little but you 
must preserve the general layout and the size of the groups of controls. You 
must however not resize the dialog itself.

Regards,

Paul
