OT: Screen orientation. |

"Rita" | I walked into a travel agent today a.m
The travel clerk had a 24" monitor and it was turned 90 degrees so the sides became the bottom and top. I have seen this before but never really thought much about it as everything is doable in computers. So if I have say a grid showing for bookings at a cab office I could see a lot more on screen if it was turned that way around so how do I develop an app to do that ? Turn sideways that is ? Rita |

I assume you just check Screen.WorkAreaWidth and Screen.WorkAreaHeight and size your form accordingly. If the screen doesn't give the rotated dimensions I have no idea. Roy Lambert |

"Rita" | Yippee found it you right click on desktop and click an in my case
NIVIDIA control panel and change the rotation from there. So when I develop I can have it extra long. I hope not yet tested. more later Rita |

"Rita" | Its so easy to do why the hell the penny has just dropped
now I will never know ;-( I just right clicked my desktop opened the Nvidia link and clicked the 90degree left an voila. So I ordered a 24" HP w2408h monitor it rotates On my current 19" yes I stood it on edge with my oldmans vicegrip thingy bobs holding it up instead of just 28 records in the grid I can see 56. I guess graphic artists and newspaper guys have done it for years. So now huge lists via the web can also be seen. I cant wait to see my 24" I will probaly get around 80 records no problem. Retired my ass I'am born again. Rita |
