On the top of a VB6 Form... is it possible to
Duplicate the normal/mazimize button of the for
toolbar. ie put the button on the left as well as the right
I have a program written which starts up mazimized, but if the clients resolution is 800X etc, they cannot see the button to normalize the window.
Appreciate any ideas.
 
I think it is not possible to duplicate the buttons on the right side of the form.

you can do one of the following two things:

1.resize the form to the screen size using screen.width and screen.height properties.You should write this code in resize event of the form.

2.Manually place 3 buttons on the form which would perform the same actions of the above 3 buttons.

The best programming practise is to write your programs in lower resolution , so that they would work perfect in higher ones.

Kiran.
 
One other alternative is to right-click on the titlebar...
 
Appreciate the help offered.
Looks like this idea is a bit of a problem.
Did not realize that so may people still use 800X resolution
I have manually created the buttons of the form as sujjested
and it works ok
