strange display problem, plz help!

**mrdarkwarez** · Sep 14th, 2001, 10:36 AM

hi, i have made a program and have put a picture box on the form. I resize the form to fit around the picture (with a bitmap inside it already). But when i distribute the program, on win2000 the form isn't resized around the picture box like i did it. I tried to do it in the form_load bit and resize the form to fit around the picture box, but it still happens.
It works perfectly fine on winNT and win98 but for some reason win2000 it no work.

Any ideas?

Have u tested this on more than one win2k pc ?

**mrdarkwarez** · Sep 17th, 2001, 01:09 AM

yup but still the same prob...

**BrianHawley** · Sep 17th, 2001, 01:23 AM

I just tried this on a 2K pc and it seemed to work fine.

How are you resizing the form and when, i.e. in what event?

**BrianHawley** · Sep 17th, 2001, 01:27 AM

Sorry, I see it's in the load event. RTFP!

If you are reading the size from the picture rather than hard-coding it, I wonder if your code is executing before the picture has had time to load? Have you tried putting the same code on a command button as a test, and seeing if it works after the form is fully loaded?

could u post the code that does not work as indended... maybe we (win2k users) can find out.

sorry i have been away
...

hmmm that could be true.. maybe the picture doesnt load before the resizing code... however.. i have hard coded it in as well (i mean just resize it under the IDE and complied it) and the same prob occurs....

the code for resizing

Me.Width = Picture1.Width + 45
Me.Height = Picture1.Height + 335

hmm.. any1 know?

**peet** · Oct 3rd, 2001, 04:48 AM

you load a picture into picture box, then the picture box is automatically resised ?
then u do the resising of the form according to the pic size ?

have I understood correctly?

**mrdarkwarez** · Oct 10th, 2001, 04:51 AM

yes... thats correct!

i have included the link to the program as well.. all win2k users.. plz test and see how it is (if it resizes properly)
