form size

[Miranda]

hi,

is there a way to set the standard form size when in form view...dragging
the window edges is beginning to annoy me!

thanks,
miranda

Miranda,

Set the form's AutoResize property to True.

i've tried this, but it means that the forms are all different sizes. i want
them to be all the one size...is there any other way?

Miranda,

The only way to ensure that they are the same size is to design them that
way. Set each form's Height and Width properties to exactly the same values,
and still set the AutoResize property to True.

I thought they were asking how to change the default form size in form view.

eg: You start VB and create a new project, the first form is automatically
X x Y size.

Even if not, it might be useful.

Miranda,

If as Adrian suggests, you actually want to change the default form
characteristics to use when you create new forms, then the following will
help.

1. Create your own custom form template, without any controls on it - just
the dimensions and colours you want.

2. From the Tools menu, select Options. The Options dialog box is displayed.

3. Select the Forms/Reports tab.

4. Change the Form Template setting to the name of the form you want to use
as your template.

5. Click OK.

Just keep in mind, this only affects forms created manually - not those
created with wizards.
