form Size

Postby DavidJohnson » Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:45 pm

One of my forms is different than the others it is shorter. It won't let me change the ClientHeight, which appears to be the setting for the wrong size. How can I adjust the size back to the correct height?

You should type the new value directly into the value field of the property.

At any rate, the form size depends on the values assigned to the "Width" and 'Height" properties. While the "ClientHeight" and "ClientWidth" properties only define the client area of a form.

Hope this helps you.

I can type into the height field and it just goes back to the original value and the form does not change. Are there more steps to the process? Why doesn't it take the new value? I can change other items in the form but not the size.

I'm not able to replicate a similar issue.
Can you share your dialog files ("dfm" and "dfm.miaf" extensions)?
