The MaxWidth property is used to get and change the maximum width of a control or window.
By default, the maximum width:
  • 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 width of a control or window is used during the following operations:
  • Window resized by the user.
  • Management of anchors.
The maximum width of a control or window is not used when the window is resized through programming (with the Width property or WinSize function).
Example
// Modify the maximum width of a control
EDT_Edit1.MaxWidth = 200
Syntax

Finding out the maximum width of an element Hide the details

<Current maximum width> = <Element used>.MaxWidth
<Current maximum width>: Integer
Maximum width of specified element (including the border) expressed in pixels.
<Element used>: Window name or control name
Name of the element (window or control) used.

Modifying the maximum width of an element Hide the details

<Element used>.MaxWidth = <New maximum width>

Remarks

Initial width (control and window)

The initial width (defined in the editor) is returned by the InitialWidth property.
In most cases, the width of an object depends on the MaxWidth and MinWidth properties. However, this constraint no longer applies when the width is changed through programming (with the Width property or the WinSize function).
