The MaxHeight property is used to get and change the maximum height of a control or window.
By default, the maximum height:
  • of a control is equal to 2 147 483 647 (0x7FFFFFFF). This value is equivalent to "no maximum size limit".
  • of a window is equal to 20 000. However, the size of windows should not exceed the size of the screen.
Reminder: The maximum height of a control or window is used during the following operations:
  • Window resized by the user.
  • Management of anchors.
The maximum height of a control or window is not used when the window is resized through programming (with the Height property or the WinSize function).
Example
// Modify the maximum height of a control
EDT_Edit1.MaxHeight = 200
Syntax

Finding out the maximum height of an element Hide the details

<Current maximum height> = <Element used>.MaxHeight
<Current maximum height>: Integer
Maximum height of the specified element (including borders) in pixels.
<Element used>: Control name or window name
Name of the element (window or control) whose maximum height will be calculated.

Modifying the maximum height of an element Hide the details

<Element used>.MaxHeight = <New maximum height>
<Element used>: Control name or window name

<New maximum height>: Integer
New maximum height of the element (including borders) in pixels.
Remarks

Initial height (control and window)

The initial height (described in the editor) is returned by the InitialHeight property.
In most cases, the object height depends on the MaxHeight and MinHeight properties. However, this constraint no longer applies when the height is changed programmatically (with the Height property or the WinSize function).
