Hi Terry,

Yes, that would be great if we could allow users to quickly zoom in or zoom out. Actually, a built in resize feature that conditionally resizes the application depending on the resolution would be cool. Maybe something for VFP 9.0 or 10.0???

>Thats an interesting question. 800x600 would be a good set for 15" (my 15" was cranked to 1024x768 [but developers always do that]). 17" and higher look great at 1024x768. It's nice to have a lot of realestate to work with - but at the end user level it may not be so much about resolution as it is vision, monitor quality and lighting. If you're forunate enough to specify monitors and resolution - you can make the call. But if you think your app will sometimes be on a 15 incher - then the 800x600 would be the way to go.

>>Hi,

>>I was wondering if anyone has any advice regarding screen resolution? I'm developing a VFP application which will be mass distributed to the general public. My development computer is set at a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels, which is optimal for my 15 inch monitor. Upon changing my computer's resolution, the VFP main system menu and my application objects appear smaller or larger (depending on the direction in which I change the resolution). Also, the font appearance changes and the relative positioning of objects is thrown off. Ideally, I would like the application's appearance to be consistent from user to user, in it's width, length, font size, and relative positioning of user-interface objects.

>>My question is this: What is the standard practice for handling this situation? Should I program my application to adjust to different resolutions? I've not seen any software programs or applications that actually adjust to different resolutions. If I don't program my app to make adjustments, which resolution should I use when laying out my application? Keep in mind that I'm using a 15 inch monitor.
