- We have an application written in Visual Basic for use on normal
- VGA (640*480) monitors. More and more people have 800*600,
- 1024*768 or bigger screens, so it would be fine to dynamically
- take that into account.
-
- It's easy to get the actual resolution by a GDI call, but then -
- what should one do? If I for instance have a window with a listbox,
- vertical and horizontal scrollbars and on button - and want to have
- the listbox as large as possible - how do I do? Scale? Or what?
- Tips and tricks? Possible problems?
-
- A little harder thing (?): An input form with combo boxes, text input and
- lots of everything. If you want to fill up a large part of the screen,
- (but not really have the window maximized) and have all proportions
- correct (including the font) - how do you do? One global setting /
- loop through the controls and change / one separate call for every
- control that should be changed?
-
- Thanks for any answers,
-
