See "Cascade/Tile Windows" (FILE#9492) under Win32 and Other APIs. I seem also to recall that there's another way to do this, but the method escapes me.

A form's height/width properties do not include the title bar, nor the frame width/height, nor scroll bars, if present. All of these must be taken into consideration. A form's height and width refer only to the client area. When you say a "pre-arranged pattern", cascading or tiling may not be what you're after.
