VB5:Where to set ClientHeight and ClientWidth properties?

[BT]

Hi.

I like to know where and how do you set the ClientHeight and ClientWidth
properties? I can see Height,Width,Top,Left in the Properties window.

Any suggestion would be very helpful.

Thank you,
-BT

Are you referring to the Screen.Width and Screen.Height properties? If so,
I recommend you use the GetSystemMetrics API instead, since running an app
such as MSN desktop sharing will totally screw up these dimensions in the
Screen object.

Clientheight amd ClientWidth can't be set, they can only be read.

What are you aiming to do, perhaps there's another way without using
clientheight and clientwidth?

form properties.

ClientHeight and ClientWidth are ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth in VB

You do not change those to resize a control
- fiddling with them just changes the ScaleMode

Assuming the internal scale mode = the container's scalemode :-

Me.Width = BorderWidth + Me.ScaleWidth

=> BorderWidth = Me.Width - Me.ScaleWidth

Me.Width = BorderWidth + DesiredScaleWidth
