>>>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?
>>>
>>>TIA

>>Desktop is in SYSMETRICS as far as I remember
>>VFP is _SCREEN.width

>>Then you need to do some math with thisform left, thisform width and desktops width

>>Anyway:
>>It is usual that the splitter changes the ration of forms elements, not the overall width of a form
>>Try windows explorer, or VFP's property dialog.

>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.

It's up to you - but a bit strange. One should not surprise users. :)

If the the right pane maintains its width, why not simply keep the width in resize? Anchor to right and the left pain to left / right? It removes the need of the splitter?
