Height property

Use the Height property to specify the height of a form or component in character-height units. The actual height depends on screen resolution and on the base font specified in the [For forms] field in the [Settings] dialog box. The system calculates displayed height from the two factors.

Base font and screen resolution determine the maximum value that you can enter as a Height property. If you enter a value that exceeds the maximum, WinStudio reduces the value to the allowed maximum when you save the form.

Users can change the base font specification in the [Settings] dialog, as well as change screen resolution through the operating system. Font size can be increased and/or screen resolution decreased to the point that the height of a form is too great to fit the screen. Note that if you open the form in Design Mode, WinStudio reduces the [Height] property to the calculated maximum value. At run time, the form is truncated.

When the width or height of a form prevents the entire form from displaying properly, WinStudio raises a warning message.

The character-height unit derived from the base font applies to component height values even if a component's Font property differs from the base font. The Font property specifies only the display of text in the component.
