Resizing Forms manually

[Shozy]

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

        '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?

[Shozy]

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

dlgPreview.Height = 100

[Shozy]

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.
