VFP Portrait Monitor Mode Limits

[stanlyn]

Hi,

I just discovered that creating a 1080px wide and 1920px height form in VFP is a problem. Extremely wierd on-screen artifacts when trying to create the large area... When looking at the size specs in the Tools-->Options-->Forms it shows the largest available design area as 1600 x 1200. I need much larger...

How do I get around this limitation?

I've attached a screenshot showing what the form looks like on a 27" monitor rotated to portrait mode. The image on the left monitor is a .jpg image that I mocked up because I could not create the real thing in VFP. So I mocked it up and showed it to client and now they want it. Now, I'm asking you guys on how I can do it in VFP. The application is already written in VFP and all I need is to create this form as a large 1920 x 1020 HD mode flipped to portrait...

Any ideas?
Stanley

Set it to "none".

Set design area to (None) and you have no limit.
Works on my HD monitor.

Bye, Olaf.

OK Guys,

You both are correct... I actually tried that yesterday and had issues with it. What I did was I modified the regular 1024x768 form and set the option to "none" and then set the form's width and length, and instantly had issues. I tested it this time by creating a new form and added the activex and it looks good, so who knows what went wrong??? Anyway it appears to work now... And thanks!
