you can store the desired properties of the calling form in global variables. in the called form read this variables (eg. PRE-FORM or WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger) and set the properties.

yes we can access it by global variables...but my requirements r different...i need to set values at run time while both forms r executing in same session...

if we store values in global variables....we have values but how could we get those values in that form for which we want to use....is there any way to get values from global variables at the same time when global variables updated with new values.

Situation is that i press a button that is placed in calling form having timer......on expiration of timer i want to increase or decrease the size of window of called form..

Have you tried using the set_window_property command in the timer code?
