Hi there, it's been a while since I last did some work with VDS so I'm a bit rusty Wink

One of my applications I wrote ages ago needs to run on a machine with a Modern wide screen monitor and The size of the GUI means that its height is to big and the bottom of the application is hidden by the toolbar
and probably off screen as well.

My question is to do with Resizing, can anyone halp with establishing intelligent resizing of the app. I still use VDS5 at the moment as I don't do enough to justify the spend to upgrade to 6.0 Embarassed

I know there was a Resize option in the dialog editor but I could never get it to work... Crying or Very sad

Your help is greatfully received.

You have to add resize type to your dialog.

On second thought, I think it's "resizable"

let me check....

Resizable. code corrected.

cnodnarb, many thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really do appreciate it.
So if I understand now correctly I will have to create a section for resizing all dialogs I have within my app based on the event trigger that RESIZABLE triggers, am I understanding this bit correctly ?

Do you know if there is a working app with that uses this that I can analyse to learn ?

Finally (Apologies if I'm a bore) !! Can I get Screen Resolution from Resizable or does this not matter ?

Many thanks once again, your a star..

Right, each dialog element has to be specifically coded for.

The example I gave created the new window at the system height and screen resolution.

Here's some old code I posted, contains a resize event that measures off the window class in the resize event (not entirely sure why...may have to do with different sized title bars or not knowing of the problem at the time) if I was to code today I would use @dlgpos() instead.
