AutoCenter Property

Applies To

Form.

Description

You can use the AutoCenter property to specify whether a form will be centered automatically in the application window when the form is opened.

Setting

The AutoCenter property uses the following settings.

Setting Description Visual Basic
Yes The form will be centered automatically on opening. True (-1)
No (Default) The form won’t be centered automatically on opening. False (0)


You can set this property in the form’s property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.

You can set this property only in Design view.

Remarks

Depending on the size and placement of the application window, forms can appear off to one side of the application window, hiding part of the form. Centering the form automatically when it’s opened makes it easier to view and use.
