rsform.bas

This .bas module allows you to re-size your form and all the controls re-size with it. I kept looking for code out on the internet that would do this right but I was never successful. So, I wrote this to eliminate the need for any ocx’s or dll’s. It resizes the SStab control which I found was a problem with most resizing routines (check it out for yourself). It also handles lines. It’s also alot quicker. All you have to remember is two things. First, add the resize module (rs_form.bas), Second, Add one line of code (ResizeForm Me) to each form you want to re-size.

Inputs

Add the rs_form.bas file to your project,
Put this code in your Form_Resize event:
ResizeForm Me
That’s it!

'Description:  This module provides the code needed to
'        adjust the placement of all controls on
'        a form. There are three public subs.
'        How to use this module:
'          In a forms Resize event type
'            ResizeForm Me
'              - This will resize all controls
'               on the form to match new form size
'          You can save a default form size by calling
'            SaveFormPosition Me
'          You can restore a form to its original size or
'          the size that was stored using the StoreFormPosition
'          sub by calling
'            RestoreFormPosition Me
'Dependencies: None
'Issues:    MDIChild forms caused a memory stack overflow error
'        Resolved: Code was changed to be more MDIChild aware
'          Note: Do not make MDIChild Forms Maximized at design time.
'             You may change the WindowState property after the
'             Resize event has occured once durring runtime.
