How to resize GUI control? Topic is solved

[Nwb]

So I'm making this little app to handily switch between emojis and text styles (mostly for discord). Discord is not a game it's a text based platform (for moderators).

Now the thing is, when I try to use GuiControl to immediately display the border again (they will display only when the user uses his arrow keys), it becomes enormous. How do I resize it's size to how it would have been if I had used the Gui, Add, Picture command (there I set x y width and height, but am not able to or don't know how to do the same with guicontrol)? I am using GuiControl because I want the effect immediately I don't want to destroy the GUI. And this is after the GUI is shown.

I'm clueless. ControlMove didn't work either unless I was doing something wrong, but I have a feeling that is not it.

I tried writing xn yn wn hn after the file path in guicontrol's param 3 but that didn't change anything for the image.

Any leads? Appreciate it!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Okay for some reason I thought that using Gui, Add' ing a picture would need the GUI to be destroyed in order for the change to be reflected. I donno why I thought that.

But yes just using Gui, add works. lol. Cheers!
