Resize the form to fit the actual size of the main area

If the size of the form differs from the size of the actual display area, it will be automatically enlarged or reduced according to the stretch mode setting. If you want to display the form created in Panel Editor faithfully in its actual size (i.e., if you do not want it to be automatically enlarged or reduced), you can find out the exact size of the actual display area using the method shown below, and create the form with that size in advance.

 

■How to set up

 

1.Check the actual display size of the main area

 

From the property page of Panel Editor, view the properties of client.xml.

 

To find out the display size of the views in the main area, set the "DeveloperMode" property of client (root) to True.

 

 

The above is normally set to False. If you set this property to True and run it in Panel Browser, the actual size of the view will be displayed on the screen.

 

 

In the above example, the display size of the main area is 1078 width x 882 height. Therefore, by keeping the form size the same as this size, the form will not expand or contract when Panel Browser is executed.

Note that this value may change depending on the execution environment, OS version, etc.

 

 

2.Resize a form

 

Select the target form from Panel Editor and change the form properties.

 

Enter the actual dimensions of the main area confirmed above into the form's Height property and Width property.
