Yeah, but all that does is chop off the form, it doesn't "shrink" a form so that the entire thing fits on a smaller screen. Again, you could use this and check the "auto scroll" so they can scroll around to see all parts of the form, but unless I'm missing how to do something, it doesn't "shrink" the form to show the whole thing on a smaller 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. -- Larry On Wednesday, August 31, 2016 2:57 PM, Jim Belisle <[email protected]> wrote: Karen and 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.

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.

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] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Adrian Hüssy Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 11:57 AM To: '[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] [mailto:[email protected]]Im Auftrag von Bill Niehaus Gesendet: Dienstag, 30. August 2016 18:43 An: [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.
