    Resize forms?


    Does anyone have experience with ShrinkerStretcher or FMS tools to resize forms?

    We are searching for a tool that resizes forms to the current screen resolution.

    We now use code from Jamie Czernik.
    This code has a few disadvantages:
    - Very slow in forms with many controls
    - Comboboxes are not good resized

    I found ShrinkerStretcher and FMS tools.

    Before testing with this tools I want to know if anyone has experience with one of this tools?

    I used ShrinkerStretcher a number of times, years ago, running v2003, without problems. As with all such programs, it works best when upsizing the Forms, so the app should be developed in the lowest resolution you're apt to encounter, when distributing it.
