Maximising New Forms

[TimPierce]

Aaarggh, this is driving me mad this morning.

I've added some new forms to an existing application, but at run-time they do not fill the whole screen (ie. automatically maximise) as all other forms seem to.

I have definitely come across this before but it's buried in the mists of time.

Any ideas?

Tim.

Hi Tim,
I had this issue, and reported it to Denver as a bug, but I'm not sure they've fixed it (I didn't try ERP8.0 yet).
The problem was balancing the FR = Form->Properties->Resolution with WR = Workstation->Display/Monitor->Property->Resolution.
The moment FR >= WR, guess what? The maximization does not occur anymore
Good luck,

Thanks Adrian,

...although I can't seem to find "Resolution" on the Form Properties, the nearest thing being the "Form Guide" which (as far as I know) is purely a reference guide for the developer.

How do you change the Form Resolution?

Tim,
That Form Guide is not that pure (as it seems to be
It is supposed to tell Xe, at runtime, the Maximum_Size or the Area the Form is going to occupy within OneWorld's screen.
Just change it, and see what's happening ... an image speaks more than a thousand words, does it not?
Warm regards,
