Windows: How do I set a window at the top of the screen

General
1

I need to place a window at the top of the windows screen (I am running Windows XP on VirtualBox).

I used:

Self.Top = Screen(0).Top + 40

but the window is hidden (vertically) until the middle of its ToolBar.

How can I do that ?

PS: I stick that same window at the rightmost of the screen using:

Self.Left = (Screen(0).Width - Self.Width) - 4
and this is good.

PS: the OS X part works fine, actually, under Mavericks.

Have you tried screen(0).availablewidth ?

3

Why wouldn’t you use screen(0).availableHeight (and screen(0).availableWidth for that matter)?

4

I win!

Yes u did :slight_smile:

Funny I was just playing with that some 15mins back to center the program window of a text parser I was doing.

No, I do not tried it. I will do once no more on the road…

Thanks.
