John, The AutoCenter property doesn't only work when the form is initially displayed. You can see this if you put the following in the Resize() event of the form:
This.AutoCenter=.T. The form will (most times) autocenter itself after the resize. The unfortunate effect is that you get a form "ghosting" on the screen during the resize. Also if you Maximize the form and then immediately minimize it then the form will become centered again so I guess you could use this feature in some way. Off the top of my head I'd try finishing the resize then toggle the windowstate to recentre the form. The trouble I can see is that you have no way of knowing when you have finished the resize method - ideally need to bind the MouseUp event to the "end of resize" event and I can't think of any way at present. I haven't got a PC here at the moment with VFP on it to try though. Let us know how you go on and I'll give it a look later on.

Mihaljevic Sent: 18 December 2007 14:29 To: [email protected] Subject: Auto-recentering forms when main window is resized Hi all, I see that the AutoCenter property makes a form display in the center of the screen when it's first displayed, but is there a simple way to have a form automatically recenter itself when the main VFP window is resized? I'm sure I could set something up to determine the size of the form, the size of the window, and move the form, etc., but before I do all that I thought I'd ask if I'm overlooking something simple first.
