Resolution / Scrolling Problem

AcidReign

Hi there,

I have the following problem. I develop an a notebook that has a resolution of 1400x1050.
My Customer has Displays throughout his Company that have a maximum resolution of 1024x768.

Now normally I would say that this is not a problem. If there is a form that is too big for the low resolution then scrolling bars should appear. WRONG

I have made a (I must admit) big Form. That is a little bit to big for 1024 pixels.
Now the scrolling bars appear but you can not scroll to the far right end of the form. It just stops somewhere on the way and the far right controls can not be pushed.

Now the funny thing is when I do not maximize this form on my higher resolution and resize it so that the form doesn't fit in the window the scroll bars appear and I can scroll wherever I want.

Only if I reduce the resolution to 1024x768 the problem occurs again.

I would really appreaciate any help, but don't tell me to reorganize the form. This is sadly not an option.

Thanks!

Have you tried to add one big frame to the form where you put in all the controls?

You'll have to re-organize the form

Some tips:
You can use a tab control and put all on more 1 page. If this is not ok, you might put the controls closer to each other (best only the display ones, not the ones that must be filled in). Visually (and Navision-like) it is not beautifull, but it works.
