Resolution in VB.NETFriends,
Currently i am working on VB.NET 2005 desktop application. We are developing applications in 1024 * 768 resolution. Once we change the resolution say to 800 * 600 desktop application will get enlarged and will be displayed in a totaly different manner what we designed. So what are techniques(thru code) that may be followed on each form so that applications' display wouldn't b get affected when screen resolutions are changed -- Regards ClearConcepts No not through code ,, but with the visual designer
you should use tables and pannels and use the apropriate anchoring property`s to keep your controls in place regards Michel Posseth [MCP] Show quoteHide quote "ClearConcepts" <techni***@peoplewareindia.com> schreef in bericht news:%23f94HcImGHA.1676@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Friends, > > Currently i am working on VB.NET 2005 desktop application.

Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/> As Herfried suggested, these methods need to be explored and most likely
will save you a good deal of time down the road. Many developers have no idea the flexibility which are provied using these properties and controls yet within the IDE help there are full examples for you to test. Show quoteHide quote "Herfried K.

GUI in 800 X 600. and we limit the max size for the fram to 1024 X 768. We also use docing and anchoring.

we ( the company i worked for ) had a routine that could resize the controls dynamicly , however if the resolution became to big the text did not fit on the controls ..... i have never seen an equivalant function for VB.Net Show quoteHide quote "Ahmed" wrote: > We are facing this problem at work.

You don't need to write any routine. It's in
the framework. But, if the resolution gets so big. the GUI will look really ugly because of either alot of empy area or over striched controls. Our idea behind developing in 800X600 is when people use this resolution they dont get scroll bars Ahmed M.

I know that (see my previous posts in this thread ) i was responding to the fact that the TS was asking for a solution in code well as i said these code solutions exist in VB6 and by my knowledge there is not a code solution in .Net The advantage of the code solution was that it looped through the controls collection and changed the location and size of the controls dynamicly according to the screen`s resolution regards Michel Posseth [MCP] Show quoteHide quote "Ahmed" wrote: > That's anchoring in .NET.

different screen resolutions, I write a general routine that accepts a form then loops thru all the controls resizing them and resetting their locations dependent on the ratio between the designed resolution and the current screen resolution. I also keep a set of fonts that I apply to each control in this routine. I then call the routine in the load event of each form. Note that you have to customize this routine for each application, i.e, docked controls don't need resizing, etc. -- Show quoteHide quoteDennis in Houston "ClearConcepts" wrote: > Friends, > > Currently i am working on VB.NET 2005 desktop application.
