Hi all Just had to drop back onto this project.
The size of the form appears to be defaulting back to the maximum resolution supported by my video card. Tracy posted this back to me <start> I would look at GDI+ drawings in a scrollable container. VFPx has the GDI+ things you need, and SPSBlog has the scrollable container. FoxForward had a session on this. If you don't want to get into the GDI+, objects in the scrolling container could work. I think drawing lines will be erased when you scroll. Tracy <end> Have found the scrollable form sample but it is referring to the anchor property on a shape object so take it this is VFP9 source? Do anyone know of any code which works on VFP8?
