[AccessD] Resizing of forms to suit screen resolution in force

Rocky,
    
    Could you kindly open my sample db, click on various command buttons on switchboard form so as to open the demo forms one by one and advise whether the behavior is found OK ?

    You can also test the custom resize feature by dbl clicking a demo form's blank area. It should take only a few minutes.

Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

  A.D.:

  I have had a problem with 'jumping' screens - forms that seem to jump a
  millimeter or so when they open - or maybe flash and repaint.  It only
  happens with mdes not mdbs, and I have always thought it had to do with the
  form resizing code I got from the ADH.

  Do you know about this and does your method eliminate this problem?

      The topic of automated resizing of forms so as to suit current screen
  resolution comes up from time to time.

      My sample db named Form_Resize (in Access 2002-2003 file format,
  reference: DAO 3.6), meant to cover this requirement, has been uploaded to
  Rogers Access Library. Link -
  http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=45

      Apart from automatic resizing to suit current screen resolution, the
  sample offers custom resizing (up or down in steps of 5 percent) of any
  given form, if so desired by the user, with the option to freeze the custom
  size so that thereafter the form opens to custom size (over-riding the size
  dictated by actual resolution). At any stage the behavior can be reset to
  normal (i.e. automatic resizing to suit current resolution).

      Resizing is effected through a self contained class. Six styles of demo
  forms are included in the sample as follows:
      (a) Simple controls - all free to float and resize.
      (b) Simple controls - with certain controls having tag property settings
  for locking their position and / or size.
      (c) Combo box and list box.
      (d) Nested subforms - Continuous.
      (e) Nested subforms - Datasheet.
      (f) Tab control having (i) Nested subforms and (ii) Option group. Also -
  an option group directly on the form.

      I shall be thankful if interested members could kindly make it
  convenient to run the sample and confirm whether any aspects need further
  tweaking. Explanatory notes are provided in file Notes.htm accompanying the
  sample.

  Best wishes,
