[AccessD] Display on 21:9 screen

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Rocky

Tell him, that the 21:9 format is a consumer format intended for watching wide-screen movies.

If he tries to run a business, he should invest in monitors for this purpose. Your application is intended for these.

If he tries to run your application on an 8" tablet, he might also get into trouble.

Emne: [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
