Sizing a form to fit screen size

[jimmyclams]

How do you go about sizing a form at run time to fit a screen? When you do size the form to fit the screen, does it have to also be screen size in design mode?

Try:<br>
Form1.WindowState = vbMaximized<br>

Hi, the url below contains a sample vb prog for resizing forms. You could also look around for other resize samples.<br>

I presume that you want the form to appear the same under different resolutions. For that you can call an API function to establish the resolution of the user's screen and then resize the controls on your form differently for every resolution. If that is what you want you can email me for code if you do not find that in manuals.<br>

You can resize a fixed, borderless form with Form1.Move 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height. You should use the API if you need to resize and reposition all of the controls to appear proportional on all machines.
