Hi,

When developing dialog programs can I specify the dimensions of the screen in terms of pixels? How do I do that?

Regards,

Vijay

No, You can't specify in terms of Pixel. You need to specify in Lines and Columns. You can get the fields in the Attributes of the Screen.

Agreed on the lines and columns. But like If I specify the max lines and columns, would it automatically readjust itself on depending on my screen resolution. I want to cover my whole monitor screen with the dialog screen, just wondering if I could specify max. pixel dimension size, or it would automatically readjust itself?

Regards,

Vijay

Ok.. Now, I understood your problem.

If you have the table control in the screen than your screen will be automatically adjust the screen resolution becuase Table control visible lines are vary based on the screen resolution. For example Go to VA03.. open any order and the press the RESTORE button in the RIGHT TOP corner. You will notice the change in the screen apperance.

So, the best way is to make maximum use of the space on the screen to put your fields. If you have only the fixed fields than your screen will not shrink to show small fields on the screen.
