Set a controls startup properties

[JimHutton]

Hi
I have created a control which is designed to fit around a form.

The only problem is I do not know how to make the control which I have created automatically fit to the edges of a form.

How can I do this?

I will be happy with something on the lines of,

UserControl.Left = 0
UserControl.Width = Screen.ActiveForm.Width
UserControl.Top = 0
UserControl.Height = Screen.ActiveForm.Height


Obviously this doesn't work anything similar though?

Cheers
Jim


Kindest Regards
Jim

What happens if you reference the user control properties to the ones on the form?, ie UserControl.Width=Form1.Width etc or is that no good/working. Obviously Form1 name might be Form2 or another name.

as this control will apply to any form in the project i can't put the form name,

It's a form frame that i am making, similar to the XP types but my custom look.

The Me keyword refers to the form you use it from. eg:
Me.Width
