Suddenly my Form1 is HUGE!

Suddenly my Form1 is HUGE!

  Send me your telephone number.

  Or, I could send you my 800 number.

  Size is 1024x768 in Form1 Properties window.

  But, I am unable to see the entire Form1, even with the scroll bars all of the way down.

  Well, you lose some to the task bar along the bottom. Try 800, 600 and then size up from there, if you need to.

  Well, if you stretch it out so that it's huge, it will of course be huge when you run it. You can select the text boxes from the drop down above the property list, and you can then set the position of the text boxes in the property list, and then move them about from there, if they are currently at some ridiculous position.

  If by Task Bar Icon, you mean the very upper left corner, Maximaize is greyed out, I can only select Minimize or Restore, neither of which helps the problem.

  My form1 size in the Properties window is now 1292 x 1036 and I still cannot see the 4 textboxes at the bottom of my form.

  // My form1 size in the Properties window is now 1292 x 1036

  You're changing it to 800, 600 in the properties and it changes itself

  The fact that it's greyed out means it's maximised.

  Something is very wrong. If you set it to Normal and set the Size property to 800x600, you should certainly be able to see it. If you right click on the task bar icon, you can select Maximized. What happens if you do this, can you see it all

  My form was set to start Maximized.

  I tried changing it to "Normal", but, that did not help.

  I changed my screen resolution to the maximum of 1280x1024, and I could see more of my form1, but, still not all of it by a longshot.

  Ah - I see. You've dragged the form size out in the design view, and so now it's the size that you asked for. There's a size property in the designer properties, you can type 1024, 768 or something and the form will resize, and then that will be the new default size.

  I had it at 800 x 600 and that didn't help anything.

  I tried stretching form1 by dragging the corner until it got to 1292 x 1036, but, I still could not see the TextBoxes at the bottom of the form. i think that I lost them, somehow, and I will have to re-add them to the form.

  My form is bigger than the screen.

  In order to see if something was wrong with my Form1 Properties, I tried running a second instance of Visual basic and loaded a "New" application. Then I could compare the Properties windows side by side. That didn't tell me anything.

  When I am running Debug, there are no scroll bars, so, I am unable to see the entire form.

  When I am in Form1.vb [Design], Form1 is also HUGE, so the problem is there as well as when I run Debug. I am unable to see the entire form in Form1.vb [Design] mode either.

  So, the problem is now continuously there. It doesn't "happen", but, at some point it happened!

  Is your form set up to start maximised Are you sure you're setting the size property and that you're running at 1024x768

  I changed the size to 800 x 600 in Form1 Properties and it didn't seem to change anything.

  The problem is still there.
