Screen Resolution Issue

[#1]

I developed one dashboard on my machine.But if the same dashboard opens in some other machine it's looks in the different format.

I think it's because of the screen resolutioin problems. How to overcome this problem. Even if the screen resolutions are different i want to have dashboard in such a way that it's looks in the format as it's on my machine.

Can anyone help us on this.

Thanks,

Ram

Hi,

You can overcome this problem by using Macro.

Create a VB Script as below :-

Sub Zoom

ActiveDocument.Sheets("").Activate
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.FitZoomToWindow
ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle
ActiveDocument.ActiveSheet.ApplyZoomToAllSheets

End Sub

and attach it with button on your sheet.

Or you could teach your users to select it from the menu. But I'm not a fan of fit zoom to window. I don't like the way things scale up and down, as it often ruins my carefully-crafted screens as it changes font sizes and other things.

If the problem is that other people have lower resolutions than you, you're going to need to develop for THEIR resolution, not yours. While the fit zoom to window will make the application fit on their screen, actually designing for the lower resolution gives you much better control over what they see. That describes the situation with my computer and our shop - I'm running on a 1280x1024 screen developing for a standard screen resolution of 1024x768.

Of course it will never look exactly the same on someone else's screen. Someone at a higher resolution will have a lot of blank space. Someone with poor vision may set the resolution to 640x480, which would be way too small to actually design for. Colors will be slightly different. Brightness and contrast will be slightly different. You pretty much just can't control how other people set up their machines. Develop for the most common or lowest common resolution, and call it good. That's my advice, anyway.

Hi,

Is there a way to tell QV to open a document in a fixed resolution, ie 1024X768 as you mention?

I don't like to adjust it manual every time I open the document to develop. Neither do I fancy a useless button to do this. Can't find a way in the QV document settings though.

I'm new at QV so it's very possible that I overlook the simple solution that's probably around somewhere.

Thanks,

Hi,

While developing your app make sure you fix your required resolution.

Hope it helps

Hi,

As I say, while developing your app make sure you develop your app on the required resolution that's it.

or creat a image of baground panel of what resolution you want, and apply that as your sheet bagroung image. design your objects within the panel. once design is done u can remove the background image from the sheet if u want.

there are some solutions for the same:

1.FitZoomToWindow(Extension):

     Need to re write the code as per our requirement.

2.Development need to be done on one standard resolution, mostly what users are using.

3. Fit Zoom to Window(will not work, because the objects alignment will not be proper.
