Window Size

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is it possible to
obtain the size of the AutoCAD window?  I did not see this in the object
model.  I would like this information to properly resize my forms at load
time.

Use the GetWindowRect Win32 API function.

Keep in mind that the drawing editor window has a different hWnd. But then
again, all child windows have a different hWnd. The only difference is that
if you have forms or toolbars docked in the window the returned X,Y height
and width may not include the docked windows.

Hope this helps.

Mark,

Here is how this is done.

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
  With
ThisDrawing.Application
    MsgBox "Height = " & .Height
& " Width = " & .Width
    'cannot reset size if
window is maximized
    .WindowState =
acNorm
    .Height = 500: .Width = 500
   
MsgBox "Height = " & .Height & " Width = " & .Width
  End
With
End Sub
