I'm mentioning these things because I *have* run into these situations.

>Yes, this is true. If I see this happening more often, I may allow user to change the form/window size through some kind of setting. But I have learned (from my experience) that doing all the possible what-if, before it actually happens, may never be necessary. I am just being more practical these days.

>>What could throw a spanner in the works is if the user changes the size or position of the taskbar.
>>On a similar note, the DPI setting could affect what you'll need to do as well (e.g. if user has selected "Large font" or "extra-large" font size, then your screens will need to be larger in pixels to make the screen content fit).

>>>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...

>>>>>>I have a window/form which is only works on a larger monitors. So, in order to show this window/form on a small monitor, I need to reduce it (at run-time). Is there a way to find out the current screen/monitor resolution so that I can make the height of the window smaller?

>>>>>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.
