Size a form exactly!

Description

Sizes a form to an exact size. Ever tried to size a form to say. 320 by 240 like this

Me.Width = 320 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX

Me.Height = 240 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY

But you want the border and title bar at the same time. And it doesn't look right at all.

Heres your answer!

(I dunno if anyone has done this before if they have. cool.) I made this years ago, but didn't know of Planet-Source-Code then.

More Info

'Either use

'I.E.

'Call Size(Me, 320, 240)

'or

'Size Me, 320, 240

'Same result.

'Size [Form], [Width], [Height]
