 |
|
Hi NG,
i am trying to design a form for a
target system that uses a higher screen
resolution (1600x1200) than the
development PC (1024x768), but all
width&height settings are always
switched back to the limits of the
development system.
Any suggestions?
Thanks - Udo

I had the same problem as you some weeks ago and I was not able to find
a trick to get rid of this problem except using another monitor having a
higher resolution. It seems that you hit one of the BCB limitations.

It's do-able. Hint: check out the ChangeScale() function, and put it in
your FormCreate() function/

Are you sure that that is a BCB limitation ?
Think it's more the OS. Are there applications that can open windows
with greater size than the actual resolution ?
Not even from Exploren you can make the window larger than the screen.
Hans.

Mmm, after some experimentations, you might be right. It's effectively
the OS which limits the size of a window to the screen resolution
