**SetStrategy( **| [//control//] ,//position strategy//, //size strategy //|// //**)**

| //source control//, //target control// |

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetStrategy** | Sets the //position strategy //and the //size strategy// to apply to a control. |
| //control// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression containing a control number. If omitted, the SetStrategy method applies //position strategy// and //size strategy// to all controls on the WINDOW. |
| //position strategy// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression indicating the position strategy to apply to the //control//. |
| //size strategy// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression indicating the size strategy to apply to the //control//. |
| //source control// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression identifying the control whose //position strategy// and //size strategy// are applied to the //target control//. |
| //target control// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression identifying the control whose //position strategy// and //size strategy// are copied from the //source control//. |

The **SetStrategy **method sets the //position strategy //and the //size strategy// to apply to a window //control// or controls. The Resize method applies the specified strategies.

**Implementation:**

EQUATEs for the //position strategy// and the //size strategy// parameters are declared in ABRESIZE.EQU as follows. To apply two or more strategies, simply add them together.

**!Resize strategies**

**Resize:Resize          EQUATE(0000b) !rescale height & width**

**Resize:LockWidth       EQUATE(0001b) !locks width**

**Resize:LockHeight      EQUATE(0010b) !locks height**

**Resize:LockSize        EQUATE(0011b) !locks height & width**

**Resize:ConstantRight   EQUATE(0100b) !locks right edge, moves left**

**Resize:ConstantBottom  EQUATE(1000b) !locks bottom edge, moves top**

**!Reposition Strategies - Horizontal position**

**Resize:Reposition      EQUATE(0000h) !rescale X & Y**

**Resize:LockXPos        EQUATE(0001h) !locks left edge (absolute)**

**Resize:FixRight        EQUATE(0002h) !fixes right edge (relative)**

**Resize:FixLeft         EQUATE(0003h) !fixes left edge (relative)**

**Resize:FixXCenter      EQUATE(0004h) !fixes horizontal center (relative)**

**Resize:FixNearestX     EQUATE(0005h) !FixRight or FixLeft**

**!Reposition Strategies - Vertical position**

**Resize:LockYPos        EQUATE(0100h) !locks top edge (absolute)**

**Resize:FixBottom       EQUATE(0200h) !fixes bottom edge (relative)**

**Resize:FixTop          EQUATE(0300h) !fixes top edge (relative)**

**Resize:FixYCenter      EQUATE(0400h) !fixes vertical center (relative)**

**Resize:FixNearestY     EQUATE(0500h) !FixTop or FixBottom**

**Example:**

**window WINDOW('Client Information'),AT(,,185,100),IMM,GRAY,MAX,RESIZE**

**        SHEET,AT(3,3,180,78),USE(?Sheet1)**

**         TAB('Client List'),USE(?ListTab)**

**          LIST,AT(10,20,165,55),USE(?List1),FROM(ClientQ),|**

**          FORMAT('87L~Name~@s20@8L~State Code~@s2@')**

**         END**

**         TAB('Client Logo'),USE(?LogoTab)**

**          IMAGE,AT(10,20,165,55),USE(?CLI:Logo)**

**         END**

**        END**

**        PROMPT('Locate:'),AT(7,87),USE(?LocatorPrompt)**

**        ENTRY(@s20),AT(33,86,61,12),USE(CLI:Name)**

**        BUTTON('Close'),AT(150,84),USE(?Close)**

**       END**

** CODE**

** OPEN(window)**

** Resizer.Init(AppStrategy:Surface) !init Resizer overall strategy**

** !set control specific strategy: at bottom left & fixed size**

** Resizer.SetStrategy(?LocatorPrompt, Resize:FixLeft+Resize:FixBottom,| **

**                     Resize:LockSize)**

** !set control specific strategy: at bottom left & fixed height**

** Resizer.SetStrategy(?CLI:Name, Resize:FixLeft+Resize:FixBottom,|**

**                     Resize:LockHeight)**
