All developers will be aware that forms designed for a specific screen size or resolution may look dreadful on a different monitor with a different resolution or screen size or shape. Automatic form resizing (AFR) code is designed to fix all such issues. Using AFR, forms and their controls can be automatically resized and repositioned for any screen size & resolution whilst allowing developers full control over the form layout and appearance. AFR code works with all types of form (including split forms, navigation forms and datasheets) and with both overlapping windows and tabbed documents display modes. This session will explain how the code works and provide tips for using the code most effectively in your own applications.
