Hi

Form sizes set to 1024 x 768 (wxh)

The details:

Screen1:

form1:lcRight,loNone,lbTopCenter,False,lsNone

headerpanel1:: lcBottom,loNone,lpTopLeft,False,lsRight

leftpanel1 with button1: lcRight,loNone,lbTopLeft,False,lsBottom

basicpanel1:lcBottomRight,loNone,lpTopLeft,False,lsBottomRight


THEN button1 from leftpanel1 above calls Screen2


Screen 2:

What are the suggested settings to make it display exactly like  Screen 1 ?


form2:?,?,?,?,?

headerpanel2: ?,?,?,?,?

leftpanel2 with button2: ?,?,?,?,?

basicpanel2: ?,?,?,?,?


(Screen 1 does what is supposed to do and I have tried to mirror Screen 1
but frustratingly Screen 2 - it just does not display like Screen 1)

Thanks

Kamran

Check the layoutOrder value - that is always key to how things work.
There is a sample that shows how to do complex things and once you
"get" it, you can do magic with it.

Kamran,

Did you post an attachment ?  If so, it didn't show up.

Please post the screen shot, and I'll tell you how to fix it.

Hi Tim

I changed the form1 and form 2 layout consumption to "lcNone"

That seemed to do the trick.

Cheers

kamran,

Yes, normally you should not set the layout consumption for forms, since doing so will cause any subsequent forms to be positioned within a reduced layout rectangle due to the earlier form's layout consumption.
