Mr. B

Is there any 'trick' in designing your application so that it works for all
types of Monitors for PCs regardless of their size/resolution?

At work, my apps are written on a 17 to 19-inch type monitor. But some
laptops (especially the newer ones) have screens for DVD's. As such, their
physical dimensions and resolutions differ a lot.

So on a laptop, things like test in a ListBox now are not fully visible, etc.

So is there any way to write your app to suite these kinds of things? Or is
it a crap shoot and you just have to find the best of both worlds?

Regards,

Bruce

Have a look at the controls' 'Dock' and 'Anchor' properties.
