User interface Access

[bebelino]

Hello,
I want to redesign a pogram I've been writing in Access for several
years now. This time I want the user interface to be more clearly. Eg.
docking forms next to each other, a main menu on the left side (a bit
like the one used in outlook) and so on. Mainly my question is about
the docking of these forms to fit the whole screen. Is my approach the
right one? And so yes, where can I find some useful code or
information to be able to dock these forms.
Many thanks,

PS I've searched this newsgroup with google but didn't find suitable
answers.

Create a module called basSizer. Paste this code into it.

Public Function q_Sizer(q_Right As Integer, q_Down As Integer, q_Width
As Integer, q_Height As Integer)
Const procname = "q_Sizer"
On Error GoTo q_Sizer_Error

DoCmd.MoveSize q_Right, q_Down, q_Width, q_Height
Exit Function

'................................................. ................

q_Sizer_Error:
Msgbox Error$, q_ERROR, procname
Exit Function
End Function
Let's assume you have (2) forms. One form on the left-hand side of the
screen is the menu: Under the Form's Properties box, in the On Load
Event, type:
=q_sizer (0,0,1900,7000). In the form on the right-hand side of the
screen is target form: Under the Form's Properties box, in the On Load
Event, type:
=q_sizer (1900,0,9900,7000). Purpose: sizes a form according to
standard global constants and positions it in place.

Yours,
Pjac
