Resizes forms depending on Screen Resolution. I had a typical problem in one of the projects. I developed entire project on my PC which is set
VBcoders
On Error Resume Next ' O'God.. Do not terminate in case of error, Pardon Me..
Dim nI As Integer
Dim ctl As Object, frm As Object
Dim nW As Long, nH As Long
Dim nHRatio As Single, nWRatio As Single
' ------ First Determine which form is Active now.. ------
' ------ I normaly Disabel all forms other than Current form in my Projects. ------
For Each frm In Forms
If frm.Enabled Then
Set frm = frm.Name
Exit For
End If
Next
' ------ Following ratios are based on assumption that U R Desigining forms at 800 X 600 Resolution
nW = Screen.Width: nH = Screen.Height
nWRatio = nW / 12000: nHRatio = nH / 9000
If nWRatio = 1 Then
' ------ No need to resize form if Ration is Unity.
frm.Left = 0: frm.Top = 0
frm.WindowState = 2 ' Max. Size.
GoTo EndResize
Else
MsgBox "Resizing Form to Suit to Screen Size.. " & vbNewLine & "Please Press Any Key.."
frm.WindowState = vbNormal
End If
frm.Width = nW: frm.Height = nH
frm.Left = -50: frm.Top = -50
For nI = 0 To frm.Controls.Count - 1
Debug.Print frm.Controls(nI).Left
Debug.Print frm.Controls(nI).Name
Set ctl = frm.Controls(nI)
' ------ Now Depending on control type, set its Top, left, Height and Width properties.
ctl.Left = ctl.Left * nWRatio: ctl.Top = ctl.Top * nHRatio
ctl.Width = ctl.Width * nWRatio: ctl.Height = ctl.Height * nHRatio
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Or TypeOf ctl Is ComboBox Or TypeOf ctl Is Label or Typeof ctl is Frame
ctl.FontSize = ctl.FontSize * nWRatio
End If
if TypeOf ctl Is CommandButton Then
ctl.FontSize = ctl.FontSize * nWRatio
End If
If TypeOf ctl Is Line Then ' Graphic Controls..
ctl.X1 = ctl.X1 * nWRatio: ctl.Y1 = ctl.Y1 * nHRatio
ctl.X2 = ctl.X2 * nWRatio: ctl.Y2 = ctl.Y2 * nHRatio
End If
Next
frm.Refresh
EndResize:
End Function
