MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / January 2005Desktop dimensions
Is there a way to "dock" controls to a certain edge of the form so that when the form is resized, they automatically move or resize as needed (you can do this in visual studio)? I don't think there is, but I thought I'd ask. If not, how could I check the dimensions of the user's desktop so that I can change the relative size & position of the controls to make the best use of space? > Is there a way to "dock" controls to a certain edge of the form so that when > the form is resized, they automatically move or resize as needed (you can do > this in visual studio)? I don't think there is, but I thought I'd ask. There are third-party form scaling solutions available that might help: A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/ . The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0782119417/107-8064361-7403703 > If not, how could I check the dimensions of the user's desktop so that I can > change the relative size & position of the controls to make the best use of > space? You can find the user's screen resolution using code at this link: http://www.peterssoftware.com/c_scrres.htm Hope this helps, Peter De Baets Peter's Software - MS Access Tools for Developers http://www.peterssoftware.com |
