[RBG7-L] - Re: change form size based on screen size

[james hageman]

Most of the data in my forms are contained in an area of about 640x480, 
however i want the back ground to be able to expand to the max screen 
area. our databases are on a network with 5 users and each has the 
screen resolution different due to screen size and blindness level. 
I'll will worry about centering the data once i can get the height and 
width.

by using  (cval('screensize')) I can get the height and width as 1 
variable, but i need them seperate. Is there a way to get that using 
cval, PROPERTY or some other way?

Subject: [RBG7-L] - change form size based on screen size

Is there an example somewhere on how to dynamically change the size of
a form based on the users screen resolution?
You can change the form size easy enough, but it would be a nightmare 
to change
the size of all controls on a form as well as the font size to make it 
scale up
or down.  I just stick with 640 x 480 and don't make a form too busy 
(If it gets
crowded, probably need more forms or Tabbed Pages).

I have looked through concomp and rrbyw 1-8, but haven't found 
anything.
