simple answer. you dont. you can hack around it by messing with the screen density; but you can get some very unexpected results :) officially, higher resolution meant better quality, not more room to play. > Also if I select 320x480 I can't place controls on the bottom part of the > form, > how do you get them there? dynamic user intefaces. CtlSetxxxx to set locations etc.. based on a resize event; but, if you have started to look at DIA, you would know most of this already :) the examples for 320x480 support cover everything you need to know. > What do other developers do about different screen resolutions?
