Hi all,

I want to create "the biggest" windows form, but, at design time, I cannot
exceed 1292,972. My maximum screen resolution is 1280/960. I'm using Visual
Studio .NET 2002.
I found this at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlr
fsystemwindowsformsformclasstopic.asp :
The maximum value of this property is limited by the resolution of the
screen the form is running on. The value cannot be greater than 12 pixels
over each screen dimension (horizontal + 12 and vertical + 12).

There is no way to create a bigger form ??

Thanks

Hi

Why you need a big form when you have property for setting the form to the
mximum size of any screen?

Hi,

I just need it and I want it with scroll bars to see all info. Maybe it's
not a tipical request, BUT it is very annoying to not acomplish this
"simple" task.

I'm waiting for other suggestions.

Thanks anyway

Set the AutoScroll property of your form to True. You will not have a bigger
form, but scrollbars will appear on the form so you can see controls even if
they are outside form bounds.

Unfortunately AutoScroll is already on true. The big pb is that I have too
many controls and no enough space to put them. I cannot use tabcontrol. It
is just an old data-entry screen that I must convert from foxpro to .NET. It
is more than embarrassing this limitation.

Thanks a lot.
