Resizer Wizard ActiveX v3
Many programmers find it not only painful, but very annoying to have to
add resize code to their Forms. Many times, deadline pressure makes it so that
the Form has to be made Fixed(meaning the user can't adjust the size). With
customers using different resolutions, the software has to be built to work on
the lowest resolution, meaning that users having high resolutions will see a
small Form.
With Resizer Wizard, Fixed Forms will never have to be in your application. All
of your forms can be made resizable with the simplicity of Adding the control
to your form.
No hand coding is neccessary. Drop the control on a Visual Basic Form and it
automaticaly begins working. The Exclusion Wizard is available via the Property
Pages which lets you exclude controls you don't want resized, you can even
choose just to not effect certain properties on a control level basis.
Many special cases are also handled by Resizer Wizard.
-
Toolbar Controls are recognized and the controls will be adjusted to react to
that fact it does not resize.
-
Coolbar controls - handled the same way as ToolBars
-
Microsoft Tabbed Dialog created by Sheridan (SSTab) is handled in all
cases of tab size and rows, as well as orientation.
-
Line control are properly resized proportionally, these have to be handled
completely different due to different properties.
-
All container controls are recognized as such and handled properly.
-
Most custom controls will work properly with Resize Wizard, if a problem
exists, just use the Exclusion Wizard.
-
Supports MDI Child forms
Resizer Wizard not only adjusts the Left, Top, Width, and Height properties it
also calculates what the Font Size should be based on the original font size
used at development time.
Resizer Wizard also has helper methods that can be used in your application such
as a method that centers your Form on the display, and another one that makes
your Form adjust its size to be the Maximum width and height of the available
client area(Note: its not maximized, just sized to be that level). You can also
specify the Minimum size the Form should be allowed to be.
All of the above reasons should be enough to warrant the use of Resizer Wizard
in your application. Unless you make minimum wage and will only work on one
program in your life, Resizer Wizard will pay for itself in the use of it on
one or two forms. Not to mention all of the Forms in an application, or even
multiple applications.
NOTE: This component is only designed to work with Visual Basic applications
