Working with screen resolutions

[Nycran]

Thanks for your help RandomCoder and Erel. I'll give that a go. Erel, I tried the code you posted, and it *almost* works, but the spacing between widgets is a bit wrong sometimes.

Sub App_Start
Reg.New1
'check and adjust the screen resolution ---------------
Reg.RootKey(Reg.rtLocalMachine)
key = "drivers\display\gpe"
If CPPC Then
logicalpixelsX=0
logicalpixelsY=0
logicalpixelsX=reg.GetValue(key, "logicalpixelsX")
logicalpixelsX=reg.GetValue(key, "logicalpixelsY")
If logicalpixelsX = 96 Then resX = 1 Else resX = logicalpixelsX/96
If logicalpixelsY = 96 Then resY = 1 Else resY = logicalpixelsX/96
Else 'PC
resX =1
resY =1
End If
'change controls
AdjustControls ("frmMain")
................
End Sub

Sub AdjustControls (FormName)
controls() = GetControls(FormName)
For i = 0 To ArrayLen(controls())-1
name = controls(i)
Control(name).Top = resY * Control(name).Top
Control(name).Left = resX * Control(name).Left
Control(name).Width = resX * Control(name).Width
Control(name).Height = resY * Control(name).Height
'Control(name).FontSize = Control(name).FontSize - seems Windows sets fonts properly itself.
Next
End Sub

Yes I have an AXIN x51v and have the same problem when optimized compiled.

I have read the many posts dealing with this topic and the various workarounds, but haven't tried them myself as the app' that I am working on at the moment uses the Calendar control for which these "workarounds" don't help.

I'll will be interested to hear hows the workarounds work for others.

For the moment, I noticed Erel put a tutorial up on the forum recently that summarises the situation well. Have a look at

Working with VGA screens

Erel notes that the Calendar control issue with VGA screens will be fixed in the future, so I'll just have to wait until then.

When I opt comp. i got half screen I turned off opt. comp. and it was full screen This is with a X51v I now use an Ipaq 111 6.0 which has no problem.

[burd27]

Does the Ipaq 111 have a QVGA screen or VGA?

[bdiscount]

No. But it is clear and bright. I don't think I used the vga on my X51v or X50v. Which I still have
