Form "hangs" off left of screen...?

[Database Administrator]

Howdy,

I'm running P9 with XP...

I have a form that is coded to run at 100%...

When I launch the form, it is "cut off slightly" on the left
side.

If I then click View | Zoom 50%, and then View | Zoom 100%,
it re-positions properly.

Is there a way that I can have the form launch properly
without that routine?

Many thanks,

Hi Tony,

On the form's Open, I have:

menuAction(MenuPropertiesZoom100)

Are you opening the form from another form or script or library or
anything? Or just directly by clicking on it?

f.open("sales", WinStyleDefault + WinStyleMaximize)

will open the subject form maximized.

Not that it will help if you are clicking on it directly.

I don't use ANY of the zoom factors for form sizing, as they seem to all
have 'issues'.

Hopefully someone else who has tried what you are doing will chime in.

Is it sized correctly and not centered in the screen? Is the form maximized?

Hi Tony,

I open the form by clicking...

It is our "base" form from which everything else happens.

Hi Jeff,

I think you may have pointed me in the right direction...

It did have a "maximize()" on its setFocus, but I moved it
to the form's open, and now it seems fine.

I thank you for your help,

When I create a form, I actually have a form creator 'form' that I wrote.
Allows me to set a window title, add some std. code snippets to certain
methods as well as allow me to size and position the 'new' form and put
those coordinates into a SetPosition statement in the 'new' form's SetFocus
method. From that point on it always opens up in a specific spot and size.
Of course I'm designing for a known set of screen sizes so what I design it
for will work most anywhere in my company.

Never even thought about the menuaction(constants) method.

Great!

For future reference, consider putting any initialization code in the
form's init() method - that's what it's for and you don't have to worry
about where it goes in the open() method. The open() event catches the
open() event for each object on the form as it bubbles up, hence the
default if...then...else statement in the open() event.

Having the maximize() in the form's setFocus() event will surely
irritate anyone who's trying to view the form at less than maximum so
that they can look at another app at the same time!
