how to fix the form size to screen

[wizkid]

I've created a form with sstab control on my pc(1280X768 screen resolution)
And i am trying to run the form on other pc(with 1280 X1024 screen resolution).The Form is fully designed with different controls(SStab..combo etc...)

I have the problem that the form is not displaying completely,
i can view only one part of the form.

Is it a problem with the screen resolution??
I used the following different types of code for resize.

but it is not working
??Any suggestionos please

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Me.Height = Screen.Height
    Me.Width = Screen.Width
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
fme.Move Screen.Width - me.Width, Screen.Height - Me.Height
end sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
Me.Move (Screen.Width - Me.Width) / 2, _
   (Screen.Height - Me.Height) / 2
end sub

Thanks

I actually posted something like this recently where I used me.width=screen.width (BTW, you forgot me.top = 0 and me.left=0 to make sure the form is at the top left) but there's a better way :-)

click on the form and in properties scroll down to "windowstate"...set this to maximised (and you could also set borderstyle to none if you want it looking totally full-screen :-))

[wizkid]

ok i will try with this modification
thanks

I think this can be achieved if you set WindowState = 2-Maximized in design mode to your form.

No need to set height and width in form load event.

I would use the .Move property instead of the individual properties (.Left, .Top, etc.) so that the form re-size event only fires once.

No it is not working

Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Top = 0
Me.Left = 0
Me.Width = Screen.Width

[wizkid]

me.Move Screen.Width - me.Width, Screen.Height - Me.Height
it is also no working

i changed the design time properties to window state 2
but no use

[cssriraman]

do you have any other code in form resize?

[smUX]

I think this can be achieved if you set WindowState = 2-Maximized in design mode to your form.

No need to set height and width in form load event.

Read my reply...'s what I said :-P

[wizkid]

click on the form and in properties scroll down to "windowstate"...set this to maximised (and you could also set borderstyle to none if you want it looking totally full-screen :-)) ..This one??
Yes i used this one also smux


no there is no other code to change the form design,cssriraman

border style=none
window state maximized

Me.Move (Screen.Width - Me.Width) / 2, _
   (Screen.Height - Me.Height) / 2

Or
i am trying with
No it is not working

Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Top = 0
Me.Left = 0
Me.Width = Screen.Width

there's not much I can say except at the END of the form_load put "msgbox form1.windowstate" (replace form1 with the form's name) and see if that returns "maximised"...if not, try putting "form1.windowstate = maximised" IN the actual Form_Load (again, replace name)

[bushmobile]

is your problem that it's not displaying maximized or that it's cutting the controls off?

if the latter then you have to position your controls in the Form_Resize event of the form - it won't do it automatically for you.

[wizkid]

Even i put my windowstate maximize state it is not full maximizing in other pc
my sstab fully not visible

[wizkid]

other thing is i am trying to print windowstate
like msgbox form1.windowstate in form load then
it is giving value 0 not 2

[smUX]

Then it's telling you that it isn't doing it. Make the FIRST line in form_load "form1.windowstate = 2"

Sometimes you have to poke VB with a sharp stick to make it do things, it doesn't like your choices in properties and decides to use its own...you have to manually set them in the code :-)

[wizkid]

Already i did it
but no use
it is showing as 0
form1.WindowState = 2

[smUX]

me.windowstate = 2 also works and would work in any form_load for any form...try commenting out everything else in the form.

And when you say "isn't working" what exactly is the problem?

[wizkid]

yes i just tried taking a new project and only with one form,without any code
and in form load just one message.
Form design properties windowstate =2

Sub Form_Load()

MsgBox Form1.WindowState

End Sub

it returns 0
i don't know why?

[smUX]

as I said above, put "form1.windowstate = 2" INTO form_load on the new project...it's exactly what I did and it works fine

[wizkid]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox Form1.WindowState
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox Form1.WindowState
End Sub

in form load it is showing 0
and in command1_click it is showing 2

i don't know what it is?

[bushmobile]

it returns 0 because the form is not maximized.

If you set the WindowState in the property window then the form will be set to that state once Form_Load() has finished.

[wizkid]

but in design time i change the property to 2
.If i want put it in form load what should i do?

I just told you EXACTLY what to do to put it into form_load...not put msgbox line but put the line I said in post 20

[bushmobile]

when initially loaded all forms have their windowstate set to 0 - regardless of what you did at design time.

why is that problem? - when the form is shown it will be maximized.

[wizkid]

Still my form is not completely maximized in my frd system.

[schoolbusdriver]

Start a new project with no code in the form, set Windowstate to maximised in the "Properties" window.
Run it in the IDE. If it's NOT maximised, you may have to re-install VB.
If it IS maximised, create the exe and see what it does on BOTH PCs.
If it works on yours but not on the other..........

[wizkid]

That is the problem,
In my system it is working,i.e. maximized., but not in other system

[schoolbusdriver]

Then the problem is with your 2nd PC, not your program.

[teamer]

And try deleting that sstab control !!!!

[wizkid]

yes the problem with second pc, not with my pc
