[RESOLVED] SetParent

[ricky234]

How would I got about setting the length and width of my form to the window that I am setting to it and making sure that window is centered and fit just right? Thanks for any help

Simplest is maximizing the form.

Next option is Me.Move 0, 0, Screen.Width, Screen.Height but that doesnt take into account the taskbar.

Another alternative is to use the Sysinfo control to get the workarea (desktop area less taskbar)

With SysInfo1
      Me.Move .WorkAreaLeft, .WorkAreaTop, .WorkAreaWidth, .WorkAreaHeight
   End With

Thanks leinad31, but I didn't mean the whole screen I meant making the window that I am setting to my form. Also, thanks ZenDisaster, that centered it perfectly . I've tried messing around but I think I lack the required knowledge of API to know how to do this. Is there anway to get the form to fit to the window? Heres a ss of what I mean:

Of course, I did that manually by hand, but is there anyway I could achieve that automatically with coding? Thanks for any help, i'm learning a lot.
