Well, I've never used CodeMine, but I suspect that if you set the width you want in the load before calling DoDefault(), it should work as you want. The load is about as early as you can get without messing with the scx as a table.

What I am having to deal with is I use CodeMine and it has features which allow like a PageFrame or other controls to be stretched, etc. as the Form is sized by the user. All this works perfectly. However, CodeMine evidently basis its stretch on the Form Width and Form Height property, which would be the normal behavior. So, I am trying to change the Width before anything is done to the form.
