Changing a Gui Size after is has been created

[joedoe]

I am working on a download manager and want to make the main GUI longer (Height) each time you download another file. How can I change the GUI size to be a variable that I can add or subtract from depening on how many downloads I have going? Is it even possible?

This is the code I have so far, right now a download opens a new GUI window, but then I can not start a new download until the first has finnished, I want to put the information from that gui into the extended portion of the new GUI.

Dim $Label_2, $FileSize, $Save, $FileType, $URL, $Button_4
$FileSize = 0

Thanks, that is just what I need, that was so obvios I missed it! I thought it would be some GUICTRLSETDATA like thing that I just couldn't find, this is much easier.

Thank you
