GM> In other words what message do I send to the listbox to resize it.
GM> Is it possible? Am I missing something? Are resources always fixed?

Resource controls are "normal" windows like every other control or window. 
Assume your dialog box has the window handle hwndDlg, and the listbox has an ID 
of ID_LISTBOX, then you can resize it i.e in the following way:

    hwndListbox = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, ID_LISTBOX);
    SetWindowPos(hwndListbox, NULL, 0, 0, new_width, new_height,
                SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOZORDER);
