I posted this as a reply to Larry,s topic on GETSIZE/SETSIZE.
just realising i should have posted it here as a topic.
I have tried this with my bingo program, ie control 101 is that which displays the random number called. text size set to 1000.
just a test to make random number larger then set it to fit screen
setsize w1,0,0,400,600,101
setfont w1,"Ariel",3000,101
SETCONTROLCOLOR(w1,101,RGB(255,255,0),RGB(255,0,0))
tried different combinations, works fine for me on vista home premuim.
but the text size stays the same?.
anyone got any ideas; or do i have to use a special command to enlarge the text to fit the enlarged control.
regards.
Hugh
Hugh,
You need a bit more patience as I have already answered the question in Larry's thread.

Found what i needed,
sw=screen width , sh = screen height
when [Start] , clicked then sub bingonumber
sub bingonumber
SHOWWINDOW w1,@SWRESTORE,101
SETSIZE w1,0,45,sw,sh-100,101
SETFONT w1,"Ariel",500,800,0,101
The number [rnum] now covers the main bingo display board after [start] clicked.
only things visable are, [time$] , [timer], at top of screen.
and , [<Exit Game] , [line Call] , [Start], [House Call] , [Next Game] , "at the bottom of screen"
when [linecall] or [housecall] is clicked, then sub linecall or sub housecall
sub linecall
SHOWWINDOW w1,@SWHIDE,101
Thank You.
Regards
Hugh
