Screen Resolution Problems

[dirksm]

Hi All.

I have a problem in VB when using different screen resolutions. I'm using the SysInfo control to resize my form whenever the resolution changes, however the controls (which I have grouped together on a frame) does not resize with the form. This causes some of the controls on my form to be "cut-off" when changing to a lower resolution, or they loose their positions and become rather miniscule when changing to a higher resolution. I would like to have my controls resize with the form, as well as to keep their relative positions on the form.

Can anybody help me, please??

Hi,

Here are some suggestions:
1) limit the number and size of you controls to fit into any resolution.
2) Resize you controls as the form resizes:
Text1.Width = OriginalTextBoxWidth * Form.ScaleWidth / OriginalFormWidth.
3) use a MDI form to enables scrolling of your form like strongm shows in thread222-97891 Sunaj
