Yes, this is what I did; changed the screen size at run-time. The logic is: check the screen resolution and if it is less than 960 (height), change the size of the window from 680 to 520. I tested it on my PC and it works.
I am sure if there is a problem, the customer will let me know.

>Did you plan for runtime changes to screen size ? Happens in my surroundings (VirtualBox hosting the "system") sometimes even by mis-clicking. Even on more traditional HW leaning settings it could happen: switching monitor, going from lap screen to office etc.., Might be better to look for WinAPI + Eventbinding than adding a new timer or a check branch to existing timer...

>>What do you suggest I should look for (in sysmetric(2)) to start reducing the height of the window/form?

>>UPDATE. I found how to make this work. I can change the resolution on my PC and then see if the form completely appears. It looks like 960 is the cut-off point. That is, if the screen is smaller than 960, I need to reduce the height of the form.
