Hi manu,

To program for the 480*800 screen size you have 2 options.

In the FormDesigner:

- set the screen size to 240*400 and compile with AutoSize
advantage: the screen on the desktop looks similar to what you will se on the PPC
disadvantage: the images in controls are stretched

- set the screen size to 480*800 and compile with Device Exe
advantage: you take full advantage of the screen resolution and pixel size
disadvatage: on the desktop the screen looks somewhat different than on the PPC, the size is big but the font size in controls remains small.

If, in the program, you draw onto the device you take advatage of the screen resolution in both cases.

Both options work.

Best regards.
