.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / August 2007Form layout on VGA devices
I'm in the process of porting a CF1 app to CF2. I have designer-generated "InitializeComponent" code to lay out forms. Under CF1 the forms look fine on VGA devices, but under CF2, the coordinate system is all wrong. The controls are squeezed together at half the desired width/height. I tried overriding the form's ScaleChildren property but it made no difference. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks! -- David Hi David, Try setting the Form's AutoScaleDimension to 96 x 96 and the Form's AutoScaleMode to Dpi  SignatureRegards, Christian Resma Helle http://christian-helle.blogspot.com > I'm in the process of porting a CF1 app to CF2. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > -- > David Thanks for the tips! FWIW, I found that I could only set the AutoScaleDimension to 96x96 after calling SuspendLayout. Otherwise, the change was ignored. And after calling ResumeLayout, the AutoScaleDimension reverts to its previous value (192x192). This means that any sizes saved during form construction (e.g.saving the original screen size in OnResizing) are in the wrong scaling factor. Easily worked around though... -- David > Hi David, > > Try setting the Form's AutoScaleDimension to 96 x 96 and the Form's > AutoScaleMode to Dpi You can also adjust your draw routing to account for screen resolution. I usually scale based on 240x320 and then adjust up or down based on a scaling factor. Rick D.
