Maximum height of windows form

Hi,
I am trying to set the height of a form in the VS .net IDE, and somehow seem
unable to set the height beyond 780. I have set the autoscale and autoscroll
properties to true, and the Miniumn size and maximum size are set to 0,0
each. I was under the impression that with these settings I could make the
form as big as I wanted, and could get the scrollbars automatically when
needed. However this doesnt seem to be happening. The height gets reset to
780 if i type in anything bigger than that.
Am I missing something here ? Does anyone have an idea why I see such
behavior ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Aniket Sule

In Windows, forms cannot be larger than the screen.

Aniket -
I had an issue with this as well and someone from the Visual Studio Designer
team at Microsoft commented on it.

He actually opened a bug report about this problem and suggested a temporary
workaround.

Here are his comments:

Thanks for the info. I actually got around this by adding a panel inside the
form with autoscroll set to true. Apparently this panel can grow as big as i
need it to be.
