Solution 1

This is because the application UI was designed for a minimum accepted screen resolution that is higher then the maximum resolution from your laptop. So you should modify your UI and make it more adaptable to the screen resolutions changes. The solution depends of the application type, for example if is a Windows forms application you could anchor your buttons in the right way, and for bigger content to use scrollbars.

so you mean to say to redesign the whole software

BillWoodruff 24-Mar-14 8:05am

As Raul just suggested to you, you can set the 'Anchor Property of Controls so they remain visible, and add scroll-bars where needed.

Not the whole software, just the UI.

Raul Iloc 24-Mar-14 8:37am

Like I said in my solution, only the UI part should be redesigned, and only the forms with problems (if you don't have time for all).

Hi,

You should change UI, use table layout panel and dock-Anchor properties of controls
run your app. and resize form check layout

-> you can also change font size of controls based on form's maximum size, if you have too many controls on form

Happy Coding!
:)

I am just a code project member as you are, please do not use "sir" :)
have you put all controls properly in table layout panel?

[no name] 24-Mar-14 9:18am

No , i have not used table layout control but i have used dock and anchor properties

Aarti Meswania 24-Mar-14 9:22am

Is your form have too many controls?
when you run app can you see there some extra unused space which you think you can utilized it then paste controls properly inside table layout panel

i have not tested or used table layout and cannot say it could solve problem or not. i will choose to do it in all forms if there is not other solution availaible as it is very time consuming
