form resize

[rry2k]

I have a Vb form that I created that takes up the whole screen. I have stretched it as much as possible but when I use a print dialog and print the form it only uses half the sheet. I tried to change the height in properties and in code at run time but I get an error that says "a form can't be moved or sized while min or maximized.

Thanks for the help..Russ

if myform.windowstate = 0 then '0=vbNormal
'resize code
end if

Are you saying to put this in the form laod event?

[berta]

U must put the code where U must apply som resize on form... so U can put it in load form event or resize foem event... or where U need to resize form...


if myform.windowstate= 0 then
myform.height=200
myform.width=300
end if

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Command1.Visible = False
If myform.WindowState = 0 Then
Form1.Height = 9200
'0=vbNormal 'resize code
End If
CmnDlg1.ShowPrinter
PrintForm
End Sub

[berta]

I set form1 maximized and I put on load form this code

'Command1.Visible = false
If Form1.WindowState = 0 then
Form1.Height = 9200
'0=vbNormal 'resize code
End If
'CmnDlg1.ShowPrinter
PrintForm

It does indeed run but I still only get a form that is half of the 8.5 x 11 sheet. Try a new app, put a textbox as far down as possible and then print.
This is an employment application and needs to look legal not a form on half a page. thanks..russ
