Adapt forms automatically to clients screen

[haezeban]

Hi,

 

We have a smartclient application in C#. We don't know the clients resolution or dpi.

 

I know it is possible to detect this.

But then we want to adapt or forms and fonts to that type of screen.

 

 

Do we have to create a piece of code for each combination (resolution/dpi) to adapt font and controls (hight/width)?

Or is there something automatically that can do this for us.

Ex. we wrote all forms and they are very nice on a screen with a dpi=96 and pixels 1024/768. But when we run the app. on a screen with other setting it is like hell.

So, I would before showing a form that we detect the settings and then adapt our whole app. forms for this screen settings.

 

Maybe build one form that consits of a panel. Call it mainpanel.cs.

And then all forms hire of that mainpanel. ....

 

I don't know where to start with this problem.

Thanks,
