[dba-VS] Visual Basic 2012 - Change Form & Controls Based On Screen Resolution

[Paul Hartland]

Gustav,

They don't have smaller screens, but very limited screen resolution....i.e.
I have been developing with a screen resolution of 1280x1024.....which is
common on most machines in our head office, however the branches maximum
resolution in their display settings are 1280x800 so the bottoms of the
forms are sometimes off the screen....now I could quickly redevelop in
1280x800 but I just have the feeling that all branches will not be the
same, so I wanted to put some auto code in the application to look at the
current screen resolution and resize all forms and controls.
