I use mwresize a lot. Here are my 2 cents : 1) It does 95% of the work. I have 'installed' it in my baseclass for form.
2) I don't think it can 'magnify' beautifully a 600*400 designed screen to a 1700*1400. There some 'problems' of accuracy (that depends also of the fonts you use). I have eliminated all resolutions under 1024*768 (so I design for 1024*768)
3) I added some properties to limit the 'magnifying percentage' and memorize the 'magnifying percentage' of the form. In fact, each user can choose if he want the form to be 'full screen', magnifyed up to a certain percentage, or displayed as it was when it was closed last time (I have a special table to memorize coordonates and magnifying percentages), ...
4) When you work with different screen resolutions, you must think first about that point : wether you design your form for 1024*768 and then allow mwresize to magnify it; wether you put more objects in the form and in this case you must have a library for each 'main' resolution. I like the first case but 'young' users are used to have a full screen of small objects. I hope I am clear on this point.
5) In most of my form, I add containers at run time so after the form is initially resized. It's not difficult to resize these containers when they are added but you must not forget to do it (and not forget too to memorize the percentage of magnifying of the form).
And if Markus Winhard reads this post, I would like to send him a very big resized THANKS !
