Hi BDS2006 UPD2 WinXP Pro I really need an advice. In my IDE, I develop on a PC which have a "normal" screen (format 3x4) When my application runs on other machines with higher/lower resolution, I can scale up and down (but I also have some difficulties there) But how can I force my application, running on a machine with wide screen (format 9x16) not to fill up the entire screen, causing the all texts/drawings etc to be "wrong" (stretched horizontally)? I generally want to fill up my screen - except on wide screens where I want to force the application just to fill up the "middle" part of the screen (meaning 2 unused areas left and right of the application). Also as mentioned, I have some troubles with formatting the application with other resolusions than is on my developer machine: I do as follows: On my machines, there are 1152 pixels horizontally Upon startup, I read "Screen.width" in order to read the actual machine on which is running. In the "OnCreate" event on each form, I execute "ScaleBy(Screen.Width,1152)", in order to rearrange the form and all the controls so it's nice to look at. But I don't feel that all the fonts, and also the DBGrid follows it Any hint? Anders
