Problem with displaying forms

[JD Kromkowski]

I’m not sure what the deal is? See attached. Smaller forms and windows seem to display with no issues. If I manually resize window then whole form appears.

Looks to me like an improperly sized child window. If you have an event
handler for dealing with resize events, that event handler could be fixing
it.

This is a result of adding the innerwindow property. For some reason, I was unable to get the correct values of the window size
during the event handler. What you can do is this for the first time you show the window:

appw.resizewindowtoform()
enablepagetools(appw.tb, appw.form)

lt =@ point.new(0, 0)
br =@ point.new(0, 0)
getcenteredwindowrect(appw.w.outerwidth, appw.w.outerheight, lt, br, error=e)
if e == 0
appw.w.setposition(lt.x, lt.y)
appw.innerwindow.setposition(outerwidth=appw.w.innerwidth – 2, outerheight=appw.w.innerheight – 2)
end if

The important bit is this last bit. Once you resize the window, it will be automatically updated, but there is still a problem
getting the correct data during initial startup.

Ciao, Neil
