Dialogs & Display Resolution...

I'm having problems where the dialogs in my applications are extremely disproportionate when end user's display resolution is either 800 by 600 or 640 by 480. I've written everything for 1024 by 768.

I've tried disabling the AutoScroll and enabling the Scaled properties of the dialog, however, some of the components within the dialog do not scale as expected.

Any recommendation or suggestions I can try?

thanx
In advance...
 
Are the dialogs you are having trouble with of your own creation. Perhaps the fonts need to be resized for each screen resolution.

Yes, these are my dialogs. What I have is a main dialog application which can call and open 2 other dialogs. The main dialog and its components scale properly no matter what resolution the displays is set to. However, when I open one of the other dialogs from main they for the most part look great except for some of the components within either dialog. The main culprets are StringGrids. They do not scale properly.

As a side note the 2 dialogs I'm refering to are contained in 2 separate DLL files I call on.

The above property settings I've mentioned work fine with the exception of the StringGrids and a couple of other components in the sub-dialogs.
