Remembering size

[Muk108]

how would i make the form remember the size it was when it last openend?

text file or registry!

I'd through my vote in for registry. You can use VB's built in SaveSetting() and GetSetting() functions, or find some better registry code on the net somewhere. Or I can give you some if you want it.

If you just want to use the built in vb functions then:

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Me.Width = GetSetting("MyApp", "General", "Width", Me.Width)
  Me.Height = GetSetting("MyApp", "General", "Height", Me.Height)
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
  SaveSetting "MyApp", "General", "Width", Me.Width
  SaveSetting "MyApp", "General", "Height", Me.Height
End Sub

The syntax for the functions look like this:

SaveSetting AppName, Section, Key, Value
GetSetting AppName, Section, Key, [Defualt Value]

Hope this helps.
