Which gets us to the part about making it stop.....lol...next email.
One final question to you before I go however
- By chance do you already know how to add a hidden control to a form?
Till tomorrow (it's pretty late here)
Hello Seb,
Guess it's tomorrow, tonight, isn't it. :>/
Firstly however - saw that you are actually running 3.1.1 (and a variant
at that :>) - well, then you have a surprise awaiting with the move to 3.2.
With 3.2 when a Base form opens should the application LastZoom factor
be different from the zoom factor set when the form was saved, the forms
height and width will also change.
- the size of the form is changed in proportion to the zoom factor
change so that a form, designed and saved at 100% zoom factor, displayed
125% at runtime expands enough to keep, where possible, all the controls
on-screen.
- the form will also contract in size to match a smaller zoom factor for
aesthetic reasons I suppose.
Given all this then maybe you don't want to get into scripting and
playing with binding said scripts to events.
So how about for this email a couple of tips:
1) When you open the form in edit mode - turn of the rulers before you
do anything else!
2) Play around with the default anchoring used when controls are added
to the form at your own peril!
Alright so that's it for tonight.
If you want to get into scripts and such to take control of such
settings per form or per all forms in a Base file, ping back.
Best wishes,
Drew
