[AccessD] Display on 21:9 screen

[Dan Waters]

Hi Rocky,

>From what I've been reading, the purpose of a 21:9 monitor is to replace a
dual monitor setup.  So your client should only be concerned about resizing
to the height of the monitor, not the width.

And, it does look like an ultrawide monitor is an investment!

Good Luck!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] Display on 21:9 screen

Dear List:

I have a client who has changed from 16:9 displays to 21:9 displays -
ultrawide.  In my product I use the venerable screen resizing module from
the Access Developer's Handbook.  It has always worked well with some custom
tweaks I have made over the years, and works well in 16:9. 
But it does not resize correctly in 21:9.

The client can make the forms display correctly by setting the display back
to 16:9 but is complaining that the inability makes his investment in ultra
wides 'useless'. 

So maybe the technology has finally outstripped the ability of the Littwin,
Getz, et al's  resizing code to keep up.

I'm on the road and just got this report so I can't replicate the condition
until I get back to the office. 

Bu in the meantime is there an alternative - preferably packaged in a module
- that effectively replaces the ADH code?

MTIA

Rocky
