Dynamically resizing forms

[vinodi]

Hi,

I have developed an application that has MDI interface ( in VB 6 - SP4). This application when invoked on a laptop does not occupy the entire screen. The application has been designed on a resolution of 800 x 600 on a standard PC. How can I dynamically resize my MDI form to fit on the screen according to the resolution of the screen. All child forms in this application are having border as fixed single. Let me tell you before hand that changing the border style does not result in any change.

Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Hi,

You should ask the question in the VB6 Forum (forum222). But here is a clue...
-----------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.StartUpPosition = 2 ' CenterScreen
Me.Height = Screen.Height
Me.Width = Screen.Width
End Sub
-----------------------------------
I would probably store the size of the form in the registry and then only resize the form(s) if the saved value is larger than the screen.
