How to fix position of form built with skincrafter

[muddasirmunir]

I had download the trial version of skin crafter www.skincrafter.com and want to use it with vb6.

I am facing some problem, I had a MDI form and some child forms, I want my child form to be somewhere in the center of the screen, but when i place the form in the center it first comes some where else on the screen for a split of seconds and then come to the center, which looks too odd.

To show you exacltly how its happen, please see a very small video

If you want to see my sample code , you can download it from

How can i place the form accurately so its wont look odd? Did this problem is due to my graphic card or system is slow etc or something else?

Without looking at your form or your code, it is a real simple matter to make your form come up in the center of the screen... in design view set its startupposition property to center owner or center screen...

When i set the property startupposition i got error "Invalid Property Value"

Is it a mdi child form? It must be as I just checked... I was thinking you were talking about your parent MDI form and not the child. (Well I guess that is what I get for thinking... :) )

Okay, so you want to have the mdi child show up in the center of the mdi parent...

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Left = (MDIForm1.ScaleWidth / 2) - (Me.Width / 2)
Me.Top = (MDIForm1.ScaleHeight / 2) - (Me.Height / 2)
 
End Sub
 

Good Luck
