Display Forms Question

Author	Message
Jules Needlema #1 / 4	Display Forms Question How do you create a form in VB, that will fit on different size monitors? Example: I want the form to fill the full screen on a 14" monitor. If I then run the program on a 19" monitor, I would like the form to fill the full screen. Thanks Jules

Bill Yelli #2 / 4	Display Forms Question Set its Windowstate property to '2' - Maximized.

Simon Jone #3 / 4	Display Forms Question I would try to avoid this. Users generally like to be able to move and size the forms themselves. If you insist on forms being maximised you will{filter}a lot of users off. Look at the way programs such as Word & Outlook work and try to copy them. You put code in the Form_Resize event to move and size some of the controls as the form shrinks and grows. Don't forget to check the WindowState property so you don't try to resize the controls when the form is minimised. -- Simon Jones MillStream Designs Ltd Independent IT Consultants How do you create a form in VB, that will fit on different size monitors?

Todd #4 / 4	Display Forms Question Hi, If your increasing resolution, you can simply set the windowstate to VbMaximized however all of your controls will appear smaller. The drawback is if you try to go smaller, you will not be able to see all of your controls and the ones you do see will appear larger. To set your screens for functionality in any resolution you need to either write your own resize code (which can get really elaborate especially when trying to plan for lower resolutions) or use a third party control. If you need to try a 3rd party control, visit our website and download the AgFastform eval control.. -- Sincerely, Todd B - Agendum Software http://www.AgendumSoftware.com Free tools for download!
