Hi All,

Sorry if this is the wrong group for this post.

I am designing using a 17" monitor running at 1024 X 768. How do I
design a user interface so that all components on any form would look
the same at 640X480 or at 800X600 ?

Hi,

try this:

const
    SCR_RESOLUTION = 1024;    // this is the design time resolution

procedure TForm1.Create(Sender: TObject);
begin
    Form1.ScaleBy(SCR_RESOLUTION. Screen.Width);
end;

1. Provide extra empty space around your labels, checkboxes etc in
case your users have "Large Fonts" specified in their display setup.

2. Set the Scaled property to each form to False.

3. Use a TrueType font (like Arial) for all forms and controls.

For points 2 & 3, it is most efficient to design a "base" form class
with these properties already set, from which you can inherit all
new forms.
