The Form Properties!

[rave3085]

In my project i want the forms to be maximized always and the option of draging it with a mouse should be disabled!

Though i can make all the form to the condition i proposed, i donno what to do to some of the forms as to stop them from being dragged, And also how can i make the startupform fro being dragged!

Please suggest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????

From what you've said I'm guessing that you're wanting to change the form(s) so they're in windowstate maximized. In the form properties there is an option near the bottom of the list "Window state" with 3 options, normal, minimised, and maximised. Changing this changes how the form loads in form load. Hope this helps.

Use the property of Form
Set Moveable=false
Windowstate=Maximize.
2nd Question???? conffusing.Plz Explain in Details.

Windowstate=Maximize.

If it's VB6, the actual name of the constant to use is vbMaximized (value is 2).

To prevent it from clicking the maximize button you should disable it.
You can do this by changing the MaxButton property of the form to False.

As SanjuMtr pointed out, set .Moveable = False.

[rave3085]

I typed this in the form_load event

form1 is my form's name

with form1
.moveable=false
end with

and also simply wrote form1.moveable=false

Either ways i got this error:

Compile Error:
Function or interface marked as restricted,or the function uses an automation type not supported in visual basic.

Pls Help

this was the complete code in my form_load event

Me.Left = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainLeft", 1000)
    Me.Top = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainTop", 1000)
    Me.Width = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainWidth", 6500)
    Me.Height = GetSetting(App.Title, "Settings", "MainHeight", 6500)
    Form1.Moveable = False

Though i got the form not to be moved by the mouse by making the moveable property in its property's table to FALSE, i would like to know why the same cannot be done with the code i gave in the previous post.

Please explain the error i mentioned above!

Thanx a lot!!!!!!!!!!

It is because in vb6 the forms Moveable property is read only at run time.

[rave3085]

what is the difference there in typing it as a code!
Even it is gng to be run only at runtime, isn't it!

Pls do explain clearly!

thanx!

DEsign mode and run-time mode are quite differnt. Some things can only be done in one mode or the other. It's not always clear why, though presumably there are reasons.
