Title: Virtual Resolution (V.R.) 1.0
Post by: Blaster on December 31, 2006, 05:30 AM

------Virtual Resolution 1.0-----------

First public release

-------------------------------------------
Description:


Every time i develop some application, I need to see can it fit to several different resolutions.

You could easily see this just by looking at height and width of a form, but it is much easier this way, and faster...

Select resolution you wish to check, cick apply - and that's it!

You can also enter any non-standard resolution.

I made this programme for my personal use, so it is not pro, but i use it all the time, and it helps me...

Hi Blaster!

Nice and simple app!  Like it lots!

There's a couple of tiny changes that would make it better for me though:
1) centre on primary display rather than desktop (i have two monitors so it always starts and changes to the middle of both screens - crossing both)
2) apply changes on clicking close
3) double-clicking the systray icon opens the options dialog

Cheers and great work!

OK, i adjusted it a littlke bit for people with two monitors...

-Now you can set VR to take left top position when resizing... (for now)

also,

-double-clicking the systray icon opens the options dialog
-Changes applies when you click on "OK" button

Blaster, make sure you build it with the settings saying it doesnt need runtime or memory manager; there is a thread about this in bcb contest section (or else bundle in the dlls).

I cannot believe this happened...  :tellme:

My apologies to everyone... :(

Hi Blaster

Still showing the frame in the middle of the two monitors instead of the primary monitor.  Otherwise it works great.

One other thing, I quite liked the Apply buttons, so I could see the affect of the change before closing the option dialog... was hoping they could be returned... :(

Cheers man!

Yes, I also think that the apply buttons are better than just one "OK"

so i returned the apply buttons, and left everything else like it was....

And THAT'S IT! No more changes!  :) :eusa_naughty: :mrgreen:
