How to get frm.Width & frm.Height when window is maximized

[perplexd]

I'm trying to get the frm.Width and frm.Height properties at run-time, so as I can position my controls on the form. The problem is that I want the form to be maximized on opening (hence I have set the windowstate to maximized), however this does not adjust the .Width and .Height properties.

How can I get these properties for the maximized form or am I going about it in the wrong way?

(Although I am designing on a monitor of 1024x768 pixels, this project will be used on computers with monitors using different numbers of pixels.)

perplexed,
This:
---------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Me.WindowState = vbMaximized
MsgBox Me.Width
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox Me.Width
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------

Verifies that the .width always reflects the width of form regardless of the windowstate. Also look into .scalewidth & .scaleheight which are the correct measures to use when scaling/positioning the controls.
How did you come to the conclusing that .width does not adjust when changing the .windowstate?

In the form_load procedure I had the code:
Dim a As Double
a = Me.Width
a would have a value of 13815 all the time...which is the non-maximized design-time width...that's how I came to this conclusion.

Even when I did as you said and inserted Me.WindowState = vbMaximized at run-time, the value of a still remains the same.
