Size restrictions for a form

[mjjj]

Could someone tell me if there is a Height and Width restriction for a form? I have tried increasing the height > 612, but it seems 612 is as high as it goes.

thanks,

It's your screen hieght in pixels plus a 6 pixel border.
If you change screen resolution to 1024 * 768 for example you will find you can get a bigger form (?)
Forms cant have scroll bars so why would you want to make a form bigger than your screen.
Several components add scrolling areas eg scroll boxs string grids etc so you can get more onto your form.

Check your Constraints. In the object inspector if you expand constraints, see if there is a max height set for your form. That would explain why you can't make it bigger.

Don't forget that Constraints were only introduced in D4, I havnt played with them much, but I diddnt think that you could increse a form height that way ??.

No, but you can stop it from increasing that way. Even in the designer. TealWren

Thanks for all the info!!! ---- I got around the constraint by creating a panel that has a length of 950, and putting the controls on it. This provides the scrollbars needed. The user had a hard copy form he wanted replicated exactly for data entry (with a few enhancements).
