Tip of the Day: Filling the Screen When Scaling Forms
Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.1.30704 or higher
Sections......: Commands, Forms
Keywords......: Scaling, PROPERTY, SCALEBY
Did you know an option was added to the PROPERTY command SCALEBY parameter
to easily fill the screen when scaling forms?
To fill the screen when scaling forms, use the "FILL_SCREEN" parameter.
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM SCALEBY 'FILL_SCREEN'
Scaling enables a form, designed on one machine with a certain display
resolution, to be displayed appropriately on another machine with a
different display resolution. It assures that the form will resize to
be consistent on both the users' and other developers' machines. Other
reasons for adjusting a form size based upon the user's screen is if the
application must intentionally hide the desktop or background.
The SCALEBY property magnifies or shrinks a form when it is displayed.
The property scales the form's client area (the area where controls
can be placed), and then places the form inside the border. The border
itself is never scaled. Form controls inside the client area are also
scaled and their relative positions are maintained.
Notes:
. Use the SCALEBY property within a form's "On After Start" Custom EEP
. Use True Type fonts for all form controls
The enhanced "fill the screen" scaling of forms makes it easier to scale
forms based upon the screen dimensions, themes, and borders!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
