Form positioning and shadow |
Fri, Dec 16 2011 8:39 AM | Permanent Link |
Lars Bevik | I have created two forms. When I click on a button on the first form, the second form is positioned exactly on top of the first one. Good, this is how I want it. Except for the shadow that gets darker when the second form is opened. Ok, let's remove the shadow on the second one. Oops! Now the second form is moved down and to the rigth. It looks like the distance is about the same as the shadow.

And yes, I know that it's weird to do it that way, but it has to do with the way that the forms are implemented in the browser. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Lars Bevik | Tim,
I have set Position (on both forms) to poDesktopCenter and Project > Options > Application I have set Destop Size to Auto-Heigth and Auto-Width. With those settings the forms are perfectly placed on top of each other. If I set ShowShadow to true the second form will be offside. Don't bother, I can live without the shadow. It's cold here in Sweden anyway. I need more sun instead Lars |

I was over-thinking this problem, to some degree. All I need to do is have the form positioning code take into account the shadow sizing, and adjust accordingly. Duh ! -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
