What are you trying to achieve? In most cases using the anchors in the designer will enable you to resize your tableview to fit your layout.

I am maximising screen at runtime and need to set TableView ht

See attached zip it illustrates the problem , TableView1 ht is always ht of layout 2 if anchor up/down selected or does not change size if anchor only up, either way no control of ht at runtime.

Seems I must abandon layouts to make this work (hope not)

No, that's exactly where it is, in MainForm_Resize ...

Also tried SetSize (no effect)

I suggest to create a Panel, load the tableview into this panel using a design with correctly set Anchors.
Change the panels position or size at runtime.

Nope still does not work, even with anchors to the panel (panel is parent)

You are not using anchors correctly.

See the attached project.

BTW, you will never see new code of mine based on TableView. There are nicer cross platform options such as B4XTable or FlexibleTable.

Did not know about FlexibleTable, your note I think exemplifies a problem for newer users, it is almost impossibile to find the list of latest internal libraries (I cant find the link anymore) - it would be nice if it was on the main page somewhere clearly visibile... Thanks
