Subject: Re: Different resolutions/large, small fonts
Paul Brents asked
>>could anyone give an explanation
what is Delphi(3) is doing when changing resolutions and/or
large/small fonts and how to solve my problems<<
There is an Inprise TI dealing with this problem.
My tip: create your form and all the elements on it with 1024 x 768 and
large fonts. Use other resolutions only for testing, not for changing the
design.
Adapting all visual controls to various resolutions and screen sizes means
much work, but the result looks well (run MS Word with various resolutions
to see an example). Use the property Screen.Width to determine which
resolution is actually set by the user. PixelsperInch gives you a hint to
the actually used font size.
Hope this helps

There is also a number of components available that manage the resizing
of forms and components for different screen resolutions: TElastic,
TResize, ... They are readily available from any Delphi resource page.
