Hi all,
I have an application with one particular form that lists a number of
items in a listview. In addition to the listview, there is a panel on
top with some simple controls to go back and forth to the next and
previous day.
Since the number of items in the list can vary from day to day - from
zero one day to thirty another, and five the third - my users like the
option to have the Window resize itself to exactly fit the number of
items. That way, no space is wasted on "short" days, and you don't have
to scroll up and down for the "longer" days.
I thought that when I use this.Height to get the form height, this would
represent the height of everything inside the window borders. So since
my listview has dock set to Fill, I thought I could basically subtract
the list height from the form height to get the "rest" height for
everything but the list, then add that to (listviewitem.h eight*items +
X) (where X is the size of the listview stuff apart from the items, that
I can figure out at compile time) to get the new form height.
And this works fine on my own computer, running Windows XP with the
"Windows Classic" style. However, it doesn't work at all on WinXP with
the "rounded" XP style. So, what gives? Is the internal form size
dependant on the window border size, or what?
Am I completely wrong in assuming that in a layout like this, with a
panel (top docked) and a listview, the form height would basically be
panel.Height + listview.Height == form.Height
- or is this wrong?
I know about SystemInformati on.CaptionHeigh t and
SystemInformati on.BorderSize.H eight, but I would really think that my
form size should be independent of this?
Does anyone know a good "formula" for calculating this, that is
completely independent of the window decorations? I expect that there
are other "skins" and such for Windows that can alter these things
further and really makes it necessary to find a "neutral" way to
calculate this.
Any insight will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rune

Hi Rune,
If the problem is with the screen resolution of the user computers,
identify the screen resolution and have a display class to change your
controls location based on the user settings.
Cheers,
Kris

Hi,
My name is Roby Eisenbraun Martins, I am a C++, VB and NET developer.
I am working with a NET 2002 project right now and I am receiving this
uncommon "OutOfMemory" error message when I try to load a form object ( new
frmMain() ).
In debug mode, the "Load" form method is executed but it crashes when it
tries to set a DataTable from a DataSet in a local variable. Actually the
object value in debug mode is equal to nothing.

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The
code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize
wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up
covering up some of the fields on the main form.
Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will
also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on
height rather than...

Need some working sample code to post hidden form data from a php page
to a new popup window. 540 x 500 centered. The popup that I'm calling
already is formatted and has a TITLE:web-2007.php so what I need to do
is to write the values from the PHP page to that popup in specific

Some of the hidden values are also like this format;
