| I am running into new problems. Different computers with different display adapters are causing thje text or screen to be either cut off or size, aspect ration problems. In a program sold commercially, this is not acceptable. Notebooks with the new wide
screens are a notable example. Is there a way to cure this problem so that the application fits on the screen at any resolution or with any display card?

| The problem is likely a difference of whether the user has small fonts or
large fonts set on their system.
I have a small piece of code that checks for this and displays a warning if
large fonts are set. I am not aware of a way to "scale down" the fonts if
the user selected Large.
Hope this helps,
Jan

| I don't know if it would help or not, but did you take a look at the
GetTextExtent() method? It's supposed to return the correct length required
to display your text string based on the current font settings of your
control (either Text or Textlabel). I don't know if it takes into account
the computer's display adapter, but it may be worth a try...
Hope this helps.
