You can also do this:
SET VAR vScreen = (CVAL('SCREENSIZE'))SET VAR vWidth = (INT(SSUB(.vScreen, 
1)))SET VAR vHeight = (INT(SSUB(.vScreen, 2)))
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM WIDTH &vWidthPROPERTY RBASE_FORM HEIGTH &vHeight
to size the form exactly to the screen.  You can deduct a bit from height and 
width, or multiply by .75 (to take up three quarters of the screen) or use any 
other adjustment you want.
This doesn't work if you have two monitors -- you'll get the width of both 
monitors together in vWidth.

Javier,    Though we do not use smaller screens in the shop yet, that helpful 
hint will be something I will remember when we go to smaller screens. Nice to 
know.    James Belisle    Making Information Systems People Friendly Since 1990

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Screen display    I always ask "what is the smallest 
resolution you have anywhere".  Generally it's 1024 x 768, and I sigh....  You 
can do so much more with a bigger screen.   When you design a new form, change 
the settings right away to those pixels and you know what you have to work with.

As I think Javier said, you can also bring the form up in designer, go to the 
form properties, and make sure "auto scroll" is checked.  That allows you to 
scroll around in case that's acceptable to the user.

Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Screen display The maximize is not visible.  Our 
external form was also a bit too big.  Resizing the screen worked.  Designing 
on our external monitors is maybe not the best plan if we are using smaller 
screened devices.   Bill   From: [email protected]

Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Screen display   What happens, if you press “Maximize” 
in the right top corner, does the form fit to SurfacePro screen? If not, you 
have designed your forms too large, you have to resize your forms to smallest 
used screensize.   Adrian   Von: [email protected]

Betreff: RE: [RBASE-L] - Screen display   We have a database with external 
forms, forms and reports that runs and looks fine on our laptops and external 
monitors.   When I copy the database over to our Surface Pro, the database runs 
fine but we have parts of some forms and external forms that run “off the 
screen” and we can’t access some of the buttons, etc.   Is this a setting in 
RBase somewhere or on our Surface Pro.  It would be nice to have the forms get 
no larger than the screen they are being displayed on.  We are running Rbase X 
on a Windows 10 Surface Pro.  Our laptops are running Windows 7 Pro.   Thanks.
