I know the prob but not how to fix it? Do you?

Ok,using the window object when you set the size of the window to the say 640 x 480 that includes the frame, menu bar, and thick frame at the top? so the actual frame is then all of them smaller? if you get me, how can set the window size + the size of the menu + the size of the frame and the title bar, the only way i can do it at the moment is by guessing the size but that goes all wrong when you set it to full screen which is an option.

anyone know an extension to get the information i need?
Thanks

You mean like an action "set ClientSize"?

You can set the client size by using this formulas:

XSIZE

YOURWISHEDSIZE+(WinXSize( "Window Control" )-ClientWidth( "Window Control" ))

YSIZE

YOURWISHEDSIZE+(WinYSize( "Window Control" )-ClientHeight( "Window Control" ))


The formula calculates the size of the heading, menubar etc., and adds it to your size.


So, get it:

WinYSize( "Window Control" )-(WinYSize( "Window Control" )-ClientHeight( "Window Control" ))

That should work.
