Subject: Resizing MDI Child Forms
Question: I resize my MDI child windows before execution, but it is ignored when the program is run. The size of the child window seems to depend entirely on the size of the MDI parent window. The bigger or smaller I set the MDI parent form before execution, the bigger or smaller the child form is when it is opened during runtime. How can I adjust the size of my MDI child forms independantly from the size of the parent?

Answer by David Carter:

In the MDI Child Form LOAD procedure, do this...
lets say FORM1 is a mdi child...

form1.width=whatever
form1.height=whatever

to center the child on the MDI form do this...put this in the child LOAD procedure underneath the form1.width and form1.height steps...

form1.top=(screen.height-form1.height)/2

form1.left=(screen.width-form1.width)/2
