VB Syntax, form doesn't auto size to fit different pc's

form doesn't auto size to fit different pc's

bob bet #1 / 4	form doesn't auto size to fit different pc's i have installed this app on about 5 pc's, most require i set the screen area to the highest pixel setting for the adapter to get the form to properly size, i.e. display the entire form without truncating the right side and without having to manually enlarge the vertical size so that a scroll bar on the bottom is available on the screen. there is one pc with a diamond adapter that i can't get the entire form to display no matter what settings i use. i use this code to set the form size, thought it would universally set the form size to fit whatever video adapter/monitor was being used but evidently not, is there some other way to set the form size so that it will universally fit all (most) screens? Wid = Screen.Width Hgt = Screen.Height invForm.Move (Wid - Wid * 0.95) / 2, (Hgt - Hgt * 0.8) / 2, Wid * 0.95, Hgt * 0.8

Here is a more simplified version with slightly less width: invForm.Move Wid * .05, Hgt * .1, Wid * .9, Hgt * .8 HTH LFS

Programmer Du #3 / 4	form doesn't auto size to fit different pc's Quote: > invForm.Move Wid * .05, Hgt * .1, Wid * .9, Hgt * .8 Just asking... is there a non-personal-choice reason to use the .Move method as opposed to setting the .Height and .Width props. (I realize .Move lets you set .Top, .Left, .Height & .Width all at once...I guess I'm really asking if there's a good programming reason to avoid setting the props directly?) -- \|_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________\| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL \| \|_____________________________________________\|_______________________\| Opinions expressed herein are my own and may not represent those of my employer.
