Hi James,

_SCREEN should always be there, (although its probably hidden), so Sergey's idea should work.

_screen.width is giving the screens width NOT your forms, if you want the form use _SCREEN.OTlfName.width

>>>I'm taking my first stab at a top level form application, rather than the "In Screen (Default)" type. I'm playing around with dynamically resizing (the file examples and the Jan 99 issue of FoxproAdvisor were very helpful, thanks). I'm trying to find the right command for determining the name of the top level form, from within the application. I tried using _SCREEN, _VFP, and APPLICATION, but no joy. So far, I'm able to get it by using the following code:
>>>
>>>

>>>FOR EACH oForm IN APPLICATION.FORMS
>>>  IF oForm.ShowWindow = 2
>>>    oTLFName=oForm
>>>    EXIT
>>>  ENDIF
>>>ENDFOR
>>>
>>>IF TYPE("oTLFName")="O"
>>>   * I can now refer to it's properties, i.e., oTLFName.Height
>>>ELSE
>>>   * ShowWindow property is set to either 0 or 1
>>>ENDIF
>>>

>>>Is there a cleaner method of accessing TLF properties? I know that I could simply hard code the name, but I would like to create a class from this, if feasible. Thanks in advance...
