No... It has no affect on how tall you will get. It will affect how much you grow size wise though. You keep lifting your muscles will keep getting bigger.

that means you won't grow as tall. but if u only lift like a dumbbell a couple times a day it will not effect your growth

I played a lot of football... so did my brothers and cousins and step brothers.... we all had to work out to be on the team. We are all older and out of high school by a number of years and and quite done growing. All of us are at normal height or taller. So my point is that working out with weights....several hours a day for a really long time....years actually..... does NOT affect how tall you are going to be.

I even have a cousin that plays for the Miami Heat. He works out constantly and has for years. He is 6'8" That is NOT very stunted to me.
