      From: RDAPres@NoRDASpamWorldWide.com              First, don't zoom the form. Why would you? If itis properly scaled for       800x600 just leave it there. (size the ap window to fit it and maximize       or just explicitly size the window. Don't try and take over the whole       screen regardless of resolution. If you really want to be nasty and take       over the whole screen then make a different copy of the form for each       res you may encounter, test the res on startup and pick that set of       forms. But it is FAR easier to just stick with one size and stay there.              Also, why use pages on the form? Use notebook tabs if you need to       separate data within a single form. Use pop up forms if you just want       another part of your data. Pages are a bad idea generally.              So, in summary, pick a size. Design for it. Forget zoom. It is lousy and       causes problems as you have seen. Get rid of pages. They are a pain. Use       notebooks or pop up forms. Don't resize. Don't change scale. Size the ap       explicitly and maximize your forms or size the forms explicitly. If you       want you can also disable resizing of the ap window or the form itslef       but that is more complicated. Usually easier just to tell users to leave       the forms the size they come up or deal with the lousy look. They will       stop changing sizes.              Denn Santoro       President       Resource Development Associates       http://www.RDAWorldWide.Com       Offices in the United States and Germany       Providing solutions to health care, business, governments and       non-profits since 1982              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
