Resize form depending on screen resolution??

[DugzDMan]

I have a program using MDI forms. When it starts up I would like the program to show the entire form (unless the user has their display settings way low . If I set it for 1024 x 768, it looks perfect. But, when viewed at 800 x 600, 1280 x 1024, etc. it looks horrible. Is there a way I can check the screen resolution of the computer it is running on and us a formula (or something) to set the size?

Thanks for all the help.

Maybe you should try this:

'Set the form to the upper left corner
FormName.Top = 0
FormName.Left = 0

'Set the width & height to max screen resolution
FormName.Width = ScaleWidth
FormName.Height= ScaleHeight

I hope this helps!

To get screen dimensions (in pixels), use:

w = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
h = Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
