Screen size on different device

[romain taillandier]

Hi group,

Usually, i work on different device, and have to make my programs work
on all, with (if possible) the same look, and the same code.
i bored about write code to know where is the main menu (in top or
bottm), if it is counted or not in the client size, if the start menu
if to or bottom and so on.
from CE 5, there is also screen of the same physical size, with
resolution X 4 (width X 2, and Height X 2), i sure you know ....

Today i have a (yes it is old) CE 4.2, and a PPC 2005, and i manage
without succes to having the same result screen. I search somewhere to
start, with this ?
some factory of screen or something ?

You didn't say what version of the CF you were using..from CF 2.0 and
onwards, docking and anchoring is supported - just like the desktop so the
runtime is DPI aware no special coding techniques are required anymore. The
orientation aware factory from the patterns & practices team as mentioned by
Fabien is usally used for coding portrait and landscape aware applications.
