Constant Window/Form Size independent of screen settings

[ambra19]

How can I adjust the window (MDI form?) that opens up to be a certain size (not adjustable)?
How can i make this independant of display setting as some users will have 1024 X 768 and others will have settings that are higher?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,

In the properties window change the borderstyle to any of the fixed settings (note: if you do pick one of these you may want to reset the showintaskbar back to true (usually set to false automatically when these are choosen)).

Good Luck

You can use the Height and Width properties on the Screen object to get the screen dimensions in twips. The Screen object also will give you the twips-per-pixel in each direction. With this information, you can calculate the window dimensions (in whatever units you choose) and resize the window by calling it's Move() method.

The twips per pixel seem to remain constant despite changes in resolution. I've always seen 15 for X and Y om my machines. You'll have to code your resolution at design-time and adjust according to the ratio of Run-time to Design-time at each Form Load. Don't forget the font sizes and picture sizes.
