How often will your users change their resolution? FWIW, spot-checking the behavior elsewhere I find that Outlook Express, Mozilla, and even the 10.2.8 Finder do not account for resolution reduction dynamically, and I suspect many other apps don't either. At least you're in good company. ;) If there's a reason to believe customers of your app will be unusually prone to adjusting their resolution during their session with your app (that rules out most Win users since most of the ones I've supported have never seen their Display control panel <g>), polling on one-second intervals should cover what you need without a noticeable decrease in performance. In fact, it turns out to be barely measureable: to respond to a message and check the screenRect takes about 0.037ms on my old 500MHz G4 (testing script copied below). While you're at it, it might be useful to Bugzilla an enhancement request for a new resolutionChanged message. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc on mouseUp global gSaveScreenRect put the screenRect into gSaveScreenRect put 1000 into n put the millisecs into t -- repeat n send "checkResolution" to me end repeat -- put (the millisecs - t ) / n end mouseUp on checkResolution global gSaveScreenRect if the screenrect<> gSaveScreenRect then answer "it changed" end if end checkResolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
