Min Max Buttons not appearing 1

[Robbo1974]

Hi all,

Does anyone know why my form's min/max and close buttons don't appear, even though I've set the properties to yes?

Thanx in advance, Robbo ;-)

Hi Robbo!

Don't know if this is the problem but, if the Control Box property is set to no, then the buttons disappear also.

Hey Jebry,

That brings the close button up, but the min/max buttons are still missing.

Curiouser and curiouser... Robbo ;-)

Ah, have just changed the border style from dialog to thin and hey presto - buttons!

Cheers! Robbo ;-)

Hey Robbo!

Glad you figured it out! I was just coming back into the thread to tell you about the border style thing, but you were way ahead of me!

Hi Again!

I wish I could help, but I don't know any more than most. But it seems to me that I have seen posts here that address the issues of altering you forms based on the resolution of the equipment. Maybe you can do a search and find out what you need.

Thanx jeff, but all of the threads I can find deal with resizing the forms. All I want to do is be able to reference the screen res on load, to decide which action to run. There's someone out the re who knows how to do it!

Thanks again, Iain

Hi Iain!

Check out this web site:

Look under APIS and you will find code to get the screen resolution among many other things.
