Size of Progress application window.

[WayneFrank]

We will be converting from Windows XP to Windows 7.

We have some users with visual imparements, and They need to change the Windows desktop settings to show text, etc at greater than 100%. But the window with the Progress application stays the same size. The text inside the Progress application window gets bigger, with problems with text truncation and wrapping.

What we need is for the progress application window to get bigger, when the user changes the desktop settings to greater than 100%. Is there a way to do this?

We have Version 9.1B.

Thanks, Wayne

We need it to get BIGGER. Sorry for the typo.

Unfortunately window and all other element sizes are by default calculated at compile time, which means achieving what you want to do could be very hard.

Have you tried compiling the programs in the 'Large Size' mode? If that works, maybe you could keep two copies of your r-code: one compiled under 'Normal Size' mode and one compiled under 'Large Size' mode.

Otherwise, if it's small number of windows, you might consider writing code to dynamically adjust the size of all your window widgets depending on what mode the computer is in. I'm not sure, but you can probably determine the current DPI setting using a Windows API call. Or just have a user setting within your application.
