Oracle Forms Developer – Form Builder Reference, Volume 1

RESIZE_WINDOW built-in
Description
Changes the size of the given window to the given width and height. A call to RESIZE_WINDOW sets
the width and height of the window, even if the window is not currently displayed. RESIZE_WINDOW
does not change the position of the window, as specified by the x and y coordinates of the window’s
upper left corner on the screen.
On Microsoft Windows, you can resize the MDI application window by specifying the constant
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW as the window name.
You can also resize a window with SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY.
