Re: Form "hangs" off left of screen...?

#11

When I create a form, I actually have a form creator 'form' that I wrote.
Allows me to set a window title, add some std. code snippets to certain
methods as well as allow me to size and position the 'new' form and put
those coordinates into a SetPosition statement in the 'new' form's SetFocus
method. From that point on it always opens up in a specific spot and size.
Of course I'm designing for a known set of screen sizes so what I design it
for will work most anywhere in my company.

Never even thought about the menuaction(constants) method.

What is the code you use?

Hi Tony,

On the form's Open, I have:

menuAction(MenuPropertiesZoom100)

Thanks,

Are you opening the form from another form or script or library or
anything? Or just directly by clicking on it?

f.open("sales", WinStyleDefault + WinStyleMaximize)

will open the subject form maximized.

Not that it will help if you are clicking on it directly.

I don't use ANY of the zoom factors for form sizing, as they seem to all
have 'issues'.

Hopefully someone else who has tried what you are doing will chime in.

Hi Tony,

I open the form by clicking...

It is our "base" form from which everything else happens.

Thanks,
