View Best Fit 1

[hcts]

I have decided to setup some of my forms with the best fit option so our users can see all the screen on the new LCD's. Is there an easy way to switch this in opal? I did a few searches and found nothing.

Thanks in advance.

In the forms Init event add

MenuAction(MenuPropertiesZoomBestFit)

Awesome,

Thanks, I knew it had to be super easy but could not find a reference in the OPAL help. We originally fit all of our screens to the 640x480 but recently have decided to change that due to the larger screen sized and resolution on clients workstations.

Glad to help, it's always a dilema trying to design forms for multiple screen resolutions.

With ZoomBestFit, on many systems the cursor will get lost.

This is specifically pointed with Paradox 10/11, but may be the case with other versions as well.

I go a little further and use:

setfocus

   doDefault
   menuAction(MenuPropertiesZoomBestFit)

-----------------------

menuaction

	if eventInfo.id() = MenuControlSize
   		then	doDefault
      			self.sizeToFit = True
   	endif

------------------------

close

   if not isMaximized() then show() endif
   menuAction(MenuPropertiesZoom100)

I use version 9 and have not observed the cursor problem Tony mentioned, but I'll add that my users notoriously under-report/wrongly-report buggy behavior.
