B4J Question setsize doesn't work

[Pedro Caldeira]

Hello,
I am trying to set the size of a pane, at runtime, but for some reason it doesn't work.
what am I doing wrong ?

    ' ResolutionX and ResolutionY contain the screen and mainform resolution
    ' Caixa1 is a Pane created via Abstract Designer
    Dim SizeX as Double = ResolutionX / 5
    Dim SizeY as Double = ResolutionY / 5
    Caixa1.Top=0
    Caixa1.Left=0
    Caixa1.SetSize(SizeX,SizeY)

Try to use:

Dim SizeX as Double = ResolutionX / 5
Dim SizeY as Double = ResolutionY / 5
Caixa1.Top=0
Caixa1.Left=0
Caixa1.PrefWidth = SizeX '<-----
Caixa1.PrefHeight = SizeY '<-----

Try to use:

Dim SizeX as Double = ResolutionX / 5
Dim SizeY as Double = ResolutionY / 5
Caixa1.Top=0
Caixa1.Left=0
Caixa1.PrefWidth = SizeX '<-----
Caixa1.PrefHeight = SizeY '<-----

Already tried that. Same result

Log SizeX and SizeY, to watch if are always the same value. Maybe the mistake is in resolution calculation

Nope. Not even checking the width and height in the designer and doubling it in the code.

Designer = 250 x 150

Caixa.Setsize(500,250)

Stays the same

How you calculate ResolutionX and ResolutionY?

How you calculate ResolutionX and ResolutionY?

I use this code

Dim joForm As JavaObject = MainForm
joForm.GetFieldJO("stage").RunMethod("setMaximized", Array(True))
ResX=MainForm.Width
ResY=MainForm.Height

But as I wrote previously, even setting the size with fixed values doesn't resize

Strange, because everything work for me. Post your project or part of that, and i'll try to check it

Maybe something to do with anchor or mainform styles , that is preventng the resize ?

Solved.
I had the option Form handles resize in the designer window
