How control Access main window with code

[atzsea]

I guess many developers of AccessDB try to comply the size of main window to the one of Form. Help file tells us how to handle the size and the position of Form, but not to this issue. Seemingly, we have to use a certain function in Lib "user32". But for general users it is hard to get the detail imformation. I think db's design and appearance is as important as its functionality.

Are you talking about resizing a form and controls? You need Litwin et al's Access Developer's Handbook.

No. I'm talking about the outer frame 'main window'. I have learned in this site its hiding and maximizing and minimizing and normalizing of Access main window. But I wish to know of controlling the size of main window with code but not the size of Form and controls. Thank you.

Ah....I see.

An adaption of

?

Or SetSystemMetrics API?

Thank you for some responses. I had already glanced over the site(

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/)

you mentioned. But I could not find reference. I learned the hiding, maximizing and etc. in the site(

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0019.htm).

By the way, could you tell me more about SetSystemMetrics API? I may be hungry about APIs.

Can I suggest a Google for it. It's not something i've done very often, once if I remember rightly and that was a long while ago.
