>>Hi,

>>I am working on a form splitter where user can drag it left and right to increase the size of the window (and at the same time increase or decrease the left pane). I don't want to increase the width of the form such that the right edge would go beyond the available screen/desktop. How can I determine the max width for a form and given desktop and the resolution?

Thank you for the _Screen.width. As far as how "my" splitter will work, it is a little different than probably some others. I need the right pane to maintain the same width. So I have to increase the overall width of the form. But not too much.
