I have a problem to put my forms to fill all the screen in my PC with a resolution of the screen by 800x600, and when I change the resolution to 640x480 the form go out of the screen display.<br>How can I make the form to have the same dimention ?
 
double click the title bar or click the maximize button or design your forms in 640x480 under Tools/Options/Forms/Maximum Display Area<br><br>John Durbin<br>Certified BrainBench VFP Programmer
 
Poliv, if you wanted to put in a lot of extra work, you could have your form set its width/height based on _screen.width and _screen.height.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>John, what did you think of the BrainBench VFP test?&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you think it useful as an employee candidate screening tool?&nbsp;&nbsp;Do you think its too tough (only about 30% pass)? <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br>
 
Ah, I see what you're saying.&nbsp;&nbsp;He could say design for 640 if some users will use that, plop the resize control from the VFP gallery on the form and set the form's width and height properties to _screen.width and _screen.height.&nbsp;&nbsp;Good idea.&nbsp;&nbsp;ONe thing, I couldnt' get the VFP resize control to work with lines.&nbsp;&nbsp;Works well with every other VFP base class control.&nbsp;&nbsp;That was a while ago, in version 5 I think.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the resize class control is still there perhaps they fixed that.<br>I posted a separate thread on the Brainbench VFP test.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm glad it's there!<br> <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= Certified Professional VFP Programmer</a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253
 
I think that the both solutions, can in fact resolve my problem. <br>Thanks for the tips.
