What approach do you believe is appropriate for dealing with the vagaries of individual use of an app. in a Windows environment.

That is how do we go about designing canvases/windows that will cope with users having different screen settings, anything from 640x480 to 1024x768, or with them changing the size of the MDI window.

For example, I've a form which displays beautifully on my 1024x screen, bit if I go to a lower res. I only see a part of it. I don't know what the various users will be using but it's bound to be a variety. Would you design for the lowest common denominator?

I'm especially interested if anybody has bothered to do dynamic changes to [Quoted] table style canvases. ie changing the no. of displays for a record & changing the canvas.

Does anyone have some good references for GUI design, especially in this area? Received on Mon Oct 06 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
