Control Box Restore Button to Yield Common Form Size

Is there a way to set a common size for any form, when the user clicks on the
middle button in the form control box the restore button for a maximized form.
I'd like to have any maximized form, when it is restored be set to a common
size.

Try some code like below in the on click event of the button you
mentioned
Private Sub Form_Click(Canc el As Integer)

Form.InsideWidt h = 100
Form.InsideHeig ht = 100

End Sub

If you want the form to open to a certain size and only change size
when the button is clicked put the same code in the onload properties
of the form. Obviously the 100 is the size value you can change

For info the number value refers to a twip which is 1/1440 of an inch.
Therefore the value 100 is silly as your form will be tiny. About 15000
will set the width to be approx full page.

Hi, I have created a control which draws a title bar and provides a drop down menu for a Smart Device Application. It seemed to work fine until I came to add an event handler to act on Paint messages in the form which has drawn the control. Evidently, the control is consuming all of these messages. How can I pass them back/on? I have a reference to the owner form but calling Refresh() via this reference isn't helping. Help! Do I need to...

Hi all, This really is quite an urgent matter. I have a page with multiple, dynamically-loaded user controls and when a user clicks on a button, the whole form is submitted. Now at this stage I know I need to call a function that will save data but I'm not sure exactly when to call this function. I've tried two ways and both seem to have 'gotcha's':

I have a form on which user controls are placed at runtime. When a control is added to the form a handler is added for an event that a high-level object raises, which must be handled by the new control. When I close the form I am expecting that the control ceases to be. However, if my object raises the event after the form has been closed, I find that there is still a user control object that handles it. Clearly the user control has not...

All, I have searched google and the newsgroups but can't find anything the same as what I am experiencing (though I may have missed something). I have controls (textboxes) within UserControls which are not behaving as I would expect. Specifically, if there is a command button external to the usercontrol which is activated by a shortcut key (eg Alt-B), the command button Click event handler code 'executes' even though the textbox set...

Hi, I have an MDI application that uses a generic "ShowPage" routine in a module that is called when I want to display a child form. The basic idea is that in the module I have declared each form as follows: Friend F0 As frmMain Friend F1 As frmStart Friend F2 As frmSearch Then in my ShowPage routine (which is passed a string "pageToShow" which is the name of the form I wish to open), I first check to see if we already have an instance...

This one's a hairy one to explain. What I've got is a class called "VistaGroupBox" that I put some nice-looking Vista-style gradients in the background and made to look like the ribbon categories you see in Office 2007. I got it working great, and created a few more controls, including a "VistaButton", which is primarily transparent when the cursor does not hover over it. However, when I added a standard Panel in the VistaGroupBox and put my...

That rather long subject says it. In Access97 running on XP - I want to display a Maximized size Form01, then open a Restore size Datasheet View Form02 on top of the first Form. PopUp won't give me Datasheet view. Dialog mode won't give me Datasheet view I could make Form01 Restore size and expand it to fill the Window in Restore size (maybe DoCmd.MoveSize Right, Down, Width, Height) - I don't want this.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
