Resizing Forms manually

Call me stupid, but how do you change the size of a form with code, (not using the visual interface)

Code:

'this is part of the print preview section 'don't want to maximize or have centered ' I am using dual monitors in horizontal mode ' center spans both screens, maximize fills both screens ' want to be able to size the form to fill only one monitor dlgPreview.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal dlgPreview.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual 'I want to size the form myself here

Thanks, Chris

You mean like Form.Height and Form.Width?

Yes, that's right (sorry forgot to include that)

I can't seem to get the syntax to change the values

What have you tried? Given what you have above, maybe something like
VB Code:
```
dlgPreview.Height = 100
```

See, call me stupid

Here's what I had tried
dlgPreview.Size.Width = 780

take out the .size. and voila, it works, thanks a bunch

Glad you figured it out. This is where I love Intellisense. Type in dlgPreview, than a dot, and Intellisense show up where you can check out all the methods, properties etc. It's a great learning tool, at least for me.
