Visible Forms in different display resolutions

[stpsilan]

I have split my screen into six parts.
In these parts must be loaded six forms.
In my resolution (1280x1024) is all ok but in lower resolution,some buttons of the forms isn't visible.
Does anybody know what to do to solve this problem and the forms to be adjusted in all display resolutions automatically?

Hi,

I had a similar problem in a few programs over the past few months, the problem has come up when we switched from 17" TFT monitors to 15" flat-panel monitors.

As far as I could tell the only way of fixing the issue was to resize the forms to fit a standard 800x600 screen and rebuild the programs. You are then catering for pretty much every screen size then.

Good Luck!

Also dont use absolute values to define your form's size. Define width and height as percentages of screen size.

Then, use the Form's resize event to realign your controls.

Set your application to change the user's screen resolution to match yours when they launch it. ;-)

Only joking, that would be rather rude....

I've found that my onresize routines in my forms are some of the most complicated code I have to write for a form. The more complex the form, the more complicated the code. There's no good way around it.
