[RESOLVED] Vb6 - center a control in the form

[horazio]

Hi
To grafically center a control inside a form I came up with this simple formula:
let's say I want to center a label:

label.left=(me.width / 2) - (label.width / 2 )
label.top = (me.height / 2) - (label.height / 2)

I tried this several times with different controls and it works perfectly for
the horizontal centering BUT the vertical place is always clearly not where it should be. With this formula it ends up near the bottom of the page almost.

What am I doing wrong ?

Me.Height includes the Caption bar height, try ScaleHeight instead:

    Label1.Left = (Me.ScaleWidth / 2) - (Label1.Width / 2)
    Label1.Top = (Me.ScaleHeight / 2) - (Label1.Height / 2)

you can do it this way as well

Control.Left=(me.scalewidth-Control.width)/2
Control.Hieght=(me.scaleheight-control.height)/2

Thanks guys,
Scaleheight is the solution.
