locking position of form on screen

[tania20]

Hi,

how do I lock a forms position on the screen? my border style is thin and i have set it to autocentre...

Cheers

do you mean locking it or centering it every time it's opened?

locking is automatic, based on when you last save it in design mode, centering it will require custom code...

i want to be able to define the postion ont eh screen and disallow the user from being able to click on the border and drag the focused window to a new position

You can position your form manually in Design View. You then have to cilck on the Save icon (looks like an floppy disc) then, without doing anything else, exit Design View. When you next open it'll be where you left it! BTW, AutoCenter only centers horizontally, not vertically.

i know how to do these things, but this only affects how it appears when they first open the form-they still have the ability to click drag and drop from the border which alters the original position

then you will have to set the boder style to none, and mimic a border by drawing it on your form...

you can use the .move method of a form to move it to wherever position on the screen though...
