Summary:
If you set the granularity of Windows' invisible sizing grid to a
value greater than zero, you may notice that form resizing is no
longer smooth. This behavior is correct and can be changed by setting
the granularity back to zero.
This information applies to all Microsoft Windows 3.0 and 3.0a
programs, including programs written with Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows.
More Information:
The Windows Control Panel program group contains several icons that
allow you to customize the Windows environment. The Desktop program
allows you to specify the Windows granularity setting. If you notice
that Visual Basic forms do not smoothly resize, but instead resize in
"chunks," the problem may be caused by a granularity setting that is
too high.
To change the Windows granularity setting, do the following:
1. Open the Windows Main program group.
2. Double-click on the Control Panel icon.
3. Double-click on the Desktop icon.
4. Move to the granularity text box in the lower right portion of the
dialog box.
5. Click the up or down scroll arrow to the right of the text box to
increase or decrease the size of the grid. Or, type the number you
want in the text box.
Note: The allowable range of values is 0-49 inclusive. Setting the
granularity to zero will produce the smoothest form resizing.
6. Choose OK.
