Thanks, Andrew - great post! > > >Hi, > >Thanks to George's excellent suggestion, I spent a couple of hours last >night playing with how to program, or edit, NSB programs on the device >to use HiRes. Basically, once I'd worked out that using a form in the >stub exe was a no-no, I came up with the following which I've posted in >case anyone else wants to do this: > >1) In NSB CE 8.1 on the PC create a new FORMLESS project and set the >hires aware property to true. > >2) Enter the following lines of code (just three - don't you just love >how simple NSB can be :-): > >Dim nsbtorun >nsbtorun = Left(CurrentPath, Len(CurrentPath)-3) & "nsb" > >Chain nsbtorun,False > >3) Click the triangle run button to create the ce exe file, and >then copy it to your device.

Once a program is finished I plan then to compile it on the PC >to remove the stub file and add resources, etc. However, when I'm >developing programs, this method allows me to do so on the device and >still have hires. Maybe most people don't use the device IDE much, but I >find it invaluable for coding and making minor edits when away from a PC. > >8) As George has said, the width and height properties can be used to >find out the screen size, so as to write the code to allow for different >control layouts.
