Solution 1

You have to handle mousedown, mousedrag and mouseup events, to trace mouse movements and then dispatch re-size calls to UI to set textbox width accordingly.

Solution 2

In exactly the same way as you were advised in Solution 3 to your earlier question How we move a label in windows forms when mouse click on it and when mouse key up then stop moving inside a group box[^]

Just inherit from TextBox instead of Label.
