GdViewer size

[CParrott]

How do I get the GDViewer box to become the actual size of the screen (which varies) upon the form load.
Using VB6.

Do you want the size equal to the screen or to the Form?

And... is it the loaded image you want set to the size of the screen/form or just the viewer?

[CParrott]

I want to have the Viewer fill the screen. The form is loaded Maximized. The size of the image still needs to be the size of the image.

The easiest way is to size the GdViewer to your Form in the forms resize event. An example:

Code: Select all

  oGdViewer.Top = 0
  oGdViewer.Height = Me.Height  '- minus height of other items like menu's, statusbar, etc.
  oGdViewer.Left = 0
  oGdViewer.Width = Me.Width   '- minus width of other items


You will have to make adjustments if you are displaying other controls like menus, toolbars and so forth.

Great thanks. I just had to be sure to divide by 15 for the pixel conversion.

[Tom Moran]

Right about the pixel conversion. You probably should use TwipsPerPixel convention instead of hardcoding 15. I believe it's 15 about 99% of the time but there may be some resolutions where it's different.
