Hi all,

if the user maximizes the form, the mapcontrol stays the same size. I want to align the control on the form. How to do this. In Delphi this would be Alignment Client. How to do this in VB with the MapPoint Control?

Thanks

Peter

Assuming that you have a Mappoint Control MPCtl1 on your form and you want the control to fill the entire screen, you could do the following with Visual Basic:

Code:

 Private Sub Form_Resize()
    Dim reEntered as Boolean

    'Prevent error message when resizing to negative value
    If  reEntered or Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then Exit Sub

    reEntered = true
   
    MPCtl1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
    MPCtl1.Left = Me.ScaleLeft
    MPCtl1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
    MPCtl1.Top = Me.ScaleTop
    
 End Sub

If you want to allign the control with other controls on the form, make adjustments as necessary. For example, if you had a combobox that you wanted to appear above the mappoint control, you would align the combobox using its left and top properties, then set the mappoint control properties:

Code:

   Dim vPad as Long
   vPad = 40 'vertical padding between controls 
   MPCtl1.Top = Combo1.Top + Combo1.Height + vPad
   MPCtl1.Left = Me.ScaleLeft
   MPCtl1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
   .
   .
   .

Hi all, hi Guest,

yep, that's what I did. Forgot to post the solution.Sorry for that .
I found it in a vb forum, of course. Here's exactly my code for Form_resize:

Form_Main.MappointControl1.Width = Me.ScaleWidth
Form_Main.MappointControl1.Height = Me.ScaleHeight

Thanks,

Peter
