No. If this is the cause, then what are the implications when I release
my application?
Thanks for the help.
You have three choices.
1) Pick a common resolution that will fit most screens: 800x600?
2) Provide two (or more) versions of your application/forms 800x600,
1024x768, 1280x720, ...
Detect settings on startup and launch the form of best fit.
3) Redraw your forms for best fit during runtime.
There are 'ReSize' controls which can help make this easier than it sounds.
And generally you only need to fool with the major interfaces - msgbox and
dialogs can keep one size, perhaps.
[Also the User can select other options which can throw your form designs
awry - large fonts, for example.]
Usually you will end up with a combination of these techniques - it really
depends on your app. Take a look at M$ products like Outlook. Notice how it
provides for small icons, large icons, text on buttons, etc. Users with
small resolutions can select small icons and no text, Users with large
resolutions can select large icons with text and achieve about the same
'readiblity'.
It also depends on your target audience. I use a large monitor inorder to
have a large number of apps visible on a screen at one time. So I don't mind
a "tiny" app, I just place it in its quadrant of the screen. A co-worker
however, uses a large resolution so each app is larger.
