    Window Size in Runtime

    I am just new to vb.net. I used to program in vb 6. Can you kindly
    indicate how I can maximise a form window to full in runtime. I think
    this is a standard thing to design controls.

    If this is not available then I have to drag the corners to try and
    match the size for designing and setting up the controls. Altough
    ticking the option "Maximised" for the field WindowState, this doesn't
    have an effect in runtime and therefore controls can't be set up
    correctly.

    Can you kindly indicate what is the issue?

    Thanks
    Jansen

      This is done through the window state property.

      Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Maximized

          Malige thanks,

          However this doesn't change the formwindow size to maximized in
          runtime. It only maximise the window when the code is compiled.

          Thanks

              Did you use this in a procedure?

              e.g. I places a button on the form. I then double clicked the button to
              create the handler clause.

              then I placed this code.

              Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
              System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
              Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Maximized
              End Sub

              You can also place it in the Form_Load procedure, and many other places.
              Does this help?

                  However this doesn't change the formwindow size to maximized in
                  runtime. It only maximise the window when the code is compiled.
                  This is a bit confusing. What do you mean that it maximizes the window when
                  the code is compiled? No code is running when you compile, only when you run
                  it. And runtime is when the app is running, i.e. when you press F5.
                  WindowState property should work just fine in that case. If it doesn't then
                  please provide a sample reproducing the error.

                  Design time is when the app is not running, i.e. when you're designing it.
                  WindowState doesn't have any effect in design time

                  From the sound of it I'm guessing that you mean it works when you run the
                  application, but you want to maximize it during design time so you can
                  layout your controls on the design surface? Unfortunately I don't think
                  there is a way to do that. You will have to drag the corners to the size you
                  want.
