Database Forum / Paradox Topics / September 2008Form "hangs" off left of screen...?
Howdy, I'm running P9 with XP... I have a form that is coded to run at 100%... When I launch the form, it is "cut off slightly" on the left side. If I then click View | Zoom 50%, and then View | Zoom 100%, it re-positions properly. Is there a way that I can have the form launch properly without that routine? Many thanks,  SignatureKenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." > I have a form that is coded to run at 100%...

Or just directly by clicking on it? f.open("sales", WinStyleDefault + WinStyleMaximize) will open the subject form maximized. Not that it will help if you are clicking on it directly. I don't use ANY of the zoom factors for form sizing, as they seem to all have 'issues'. Hopefully someone else who has tried what you are doing will chime in. --------------- Tony McGuire >>>> I have a form that is coded to run at 100%... >>> What is the code you use?

Thanks, SignatureKenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." When I create a form, I actually have a form creator 'form' that I wrote. Allows me to set a window title, add some std. code snippets to certain methods as well as allow me to size and position the 'new' form and put those coordinates into a SetPosition statement in the 'new' form's SetFocus method. From that point on it always opens up in a specific spot and size. Of course I'm designing for a known set of screen sizes so what I design it for will work most anywhere in my company. Never even thought about the menuaction(constants) method. >>>>> I have a form that is coded to run at 100%... >>>> What is the code you use?

Is the form maximized? Hi Jeff, I think you may have pointed me in the right direction... It did have a "maximize()" on its setFocus, but I moved it to the form's open, and now it seems fine. I thank you for your help, SignatureKenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." Great! For future reference, consider putting any initialization code in the form's init() method - that's what it's for and you don't have to worry about where it goes in the open() method. The open() event catches the open() event for each object on the form as it bubbles up, hence the default if...then...else statement in the open() event. Having the maximize() in the form's setFocus() event will surely irritate anyone who's trying to view the form at less than maximum so that they can look at another app at the same time! > >>> Howdy, [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > I thank you for your help, |
