Re: adapt software to different resolutions

I created my software for 1280x1024.
Is there any good component to make it work on other resolutions by
automatically assigning the width/height?

There may be some components that scale controls on a form, but generally
thats a bad idea. On lower resolutions it'd be difficult to read, and
people with higher resolutions will be annoyed that they cant use their
higher resolutions. Then you start getting into handling screens with
different aspect ratios, like wide screen displays.

My suggestion is to redesign the interface so it looks good at 1024x768.
Resize controls such as images, grids, and memo areas, but dont alter their
fonts and dont alter the size of buttons or other common controls. Then
code a nice OnFormResize handler to adjust the layout in response to the
form size.
