 Centering forms Does anyone have any command-lines that would center the forms on the screen (in run-time) regardless of resolution/monitor. If I change the resolution (work on another machine), the forms
appear out of place, and I have to adjust them.

On the form_load event, use the following: Form1.Left = Int( (Screen.Width - Form1.Width) / 2)
Form1.Top = Int( (Screen.Height - Form1.Height) / 2)

Sub Form_Load () Move (Screen.Width - Width) / 2, (Screen.Height - Height) / 2 End Sub Jens

In the Form_Load() procedure for the form, add the following line: Move (Screen.Width - Width) \ 2, Screen.Height - Height) \
2
This will center the form on the screen when the form
loads.

I am curious why you favor the Move Method over setting the Top/Left props.....

Sub CenterForm (f As Form) f.Left = (Screen.Width - f.Width) / 2 f.Top = (Screen.Height - f.Height) / 2 End Sub then as you load a form in load event put: CenterForm Me

This works for me, Arild. Sub centerform (F As Form)
' Center the specified form within the screen
F.Move ((Screen.Width - F.Width) \ 2), ((Screen.Height - F.Height) \ 2)
End Sub

Centering forms Hi I am new to this news group and VB3 in general. Forgive me if this question has all ready been asked. Is there a method of disabling the ATL-TAB key stroke, to stop windows
from swiching to another active program or window. from within a active
VB program.
Any constructive comments welcome..
Andy :-)

Me.Top = (Screen.Height - Me.Height)/2 Me.Left = (Screen.Width - Me.Width)/2 Cheers, Hans

- and if you divide the height by 3 instead (leaving one third of free space at the top and two thirds at the bottom), you'll get a more pleasing position - let's call it a more "visual" center.
