Ed,

What I have done is set an environment variable in WinNT and Win2k PC's that has the display resolution. Then I get that and change my display accordingly.

Ed, will showPanel(UFName, x, y, width, height) do what you need on the VEE
side? (Can't help with the Win side)

Use the Function and Object Browser>Built-in Functions>Panel to see the
details.

Subject: vrf Monitor resolution

How do I programmatically change my panel size for users who use different
Windows Monitor Screen area display settings? As an example: I have an X vs.
Y plot on a panel in a program. I use screen resolution 1024 X 768 but the
user computer may use 800 X 600 or 1024 X 768. The program panel X vs. Y
plot will not be completely visible with a resolution of 800 X 600.

Is there a way to read the Windows settings of the monitor resolution?

Is there a way to programmatically change the X vs. Y Plot width and height
appearance properties?

Do I need to make a different program for the different screen resolutions?
