I have a configuration file where I save the size of the client area when my application last run. I would like to be able to set
the size of the form's client area at start up to this value but if I use VS's designer tool I have to set a value in efffect for
the client area which it uses to initially draw the control.
Can I force the designer to use the value I have in my configuration file. I realize I can fix up the code the designer generates to
do this but then I would have a problem using the designer. I know the value before the control is created since I have already
read my config file by then.
It is annoying that I have to start off with some fixed size and then do a resize once it has generated the form and all it's
controls.
Thanks for any ideas,
Steve

I don't think you can get the Designer to. But you can do what you want
otherwise. In particular, you could just add code to the constructor,
after the call to InitializeCompo nent(), to set the size. Alternatively,
I believe you can use data binding to bind the ClientSize property to your
settings (I've done something similar in the past, but don't recall the
specifics...it' s part of the usual data binding stuff you can set up in
the Designer though).

thanks, I have it working now. I took it out of my config file too and just use the Properties.Sett ings for the form.

I want to write a Server Side PHP program that generates a HTML page
client side.
How would I get at the clients' screen size, before serving the
generated page ?
Would it be a two-step process: first let the client execute a piece
of JavaScript to generate Height and Width, and then send those values
to the PHP server (FORM, PUT) ?
Or can it be done in only one PHP program ?
