VGA

[Hilton]

Hi,

The problem:
Images look kinda bad on VGA screens because of pixel doubling.

The questions:
1. Is there a way to compile against CF 1.0 and have non-pixel doubled
images on a VGA screen. (e.g. with some PInvokes, some hidden DPI setting)
2. Is there a way to compile against CF 2.0 and have the code run on CF 1.0
devices.

Ideally I'd like one EXE to run on CF 1.0, CF 2.0, and have non-pixel
doubled images - possible?

Why one earth MS did this pixel doubling nonsense is beyond me. IMHO the
solution is worse than the problem.

You can mark your .NETCF v1.0 application as VGA aware by attaching a
resource to the exe, the Developer tools for Windows Mobile 2003 Second
Edition contain a tool to automate this:-

Once you add this the system will run your app at native resolution so you
will need to ensure your code is aware of the screen shape and size and
makes resizes controls to suit.

I love you man! Thanks!

Images look tiny, control sizes are messed up, but that is expected and I
have work to do, but right now one pixel is one pixel - woohoo - thanks
Peter!
