Are you sizing the controls in the Form_Resize event? If not, you should
be.
Another approach is to fix the form size in the Form_Load event, based on
the right-most and bottom-most control(s). Assuming ctlRight is the
control that ends furthest to the right, and ctlBottom is the control that
ends furthest to the bottom, and the form's ScaleMode is set to Twips (the
default value), you can do:
Me.Width = Me.Width - Me.ScaleWidth + ctlRight.Left + ctlRight.Width
Me.Height = Me.Height - Me.ScaleHeight + ctlBottom.Top + ctlBottom.Height
The funky "Me.Width - Me.ScaleWidth" is there because it calculates the
width of the window borders, and preserves it. Ditto for the Height
adjustments.
You can use this code, even if the form is set to non-resizeable.
I'd still add resizing code to the Form_Resize event, because I'm a sucker
for punishment. I mean, because it makes the program much more pleasant to
work with. There's almost always some control that would benefit from
having as much space as the user wants to give to it.

| (...) Oh yeah, definitely. (...) That's actually why I opted to do, I based the window size on the control that is in the lower right corner of the form. Good to see we were thinking the same thing. J (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
