Project just a little larger the it should be.

HELP!
Greetings everyone!
I have a project thats 800x600, the client is running into a problem where the interface is getting cut off at the bottom (no way to go back). Their res. is 800x600 or larger. Does anyone have an idea whats going on?

Just a guess Bruce - their taskbar is set to be always on top.

790 X 545, as seen in the "large" window size preset, is the maximum size recommended for 800 X 600 displays. This takes into account the title bar and border. :yes

An idea would be to put it in a KIOSK mode with your own Min/Retore/Close buttons.

Thanks guys!

Boy dropping down to Corey's idea size really jacks the project up Would Kisok fix the prob Worm?

[Corey]

Kiosk eliminates the title bar and borders, so yes, it would then appear properly at 800 X 600. So would using "Flat" for your project window border option. But like Worm mentioned, for either of those solutions just make sure to add minimize, restore (aesthetic), and exit buttons to the project since the title bar won't be there anymore... :yes

I was messing around with a dll called ResMaster.dll but doesn't seem to want to work. (poop) I know... dad idea!

[Bruce]

"dad" LOL! BAD!

Hey Worm,

I am working on a project where I'd like to fill the screen but still have the border and min/close standard window buttons. I can actually live without the border, but I'd like the min/close buttons to always be top-right of every display and have the background fill black in Kiosk mode. Is there a way to script this in 5.0?

And how come this changed from 4.X? That version allowed a bordered project to fill any screen regardless of resolution.

Create your buttons, put them on the page as hidden buttons.

Get the Screen's Height and subtract your projects height from that.

Divide that by 2 and multipl by -1

use the resulting number as the Top of the buttonm that should put the buttons at the top of the screen, even in KIOSK mode.

Worm strikes again :lol - it works brilliantly, that deserves a gold accolade :yes :yes :yes - it had never occurred to me that I could position stuff off the page but still have it appear and be active. That opens up a whole new approach to page design - the benefits of 'thinking outside the page' ehh

I do this all the time, but great to be pointed out. BTW, Flash is another program that this same strategy can be applied Especially for text variables.

Worm, you are positively a GENIUS!!
What a great and ingenious way to "expand" over the boundaries of a project.
Thank you so very much for that!!!!

It's like having a new toy :lol . Just one thing, that algorithm doesn't quite work for me. I have a slightly unusual screen res (1280x800) but that shouldn't make a difference.

Would someone like to try the attachment and see if it works on other systems.
