No, as long as you have compiled the device exe AutoScaled it should just work. You don't need to and cannot do anything to affect it. The ScreenScale values are correct so the only thing I can think of that is stopping it working is that the device exe is not in fact AutoScale compiled.

I asked three questions above to try to help and you have replied to none of them!

Hmm! If one control AutoScales OK they all ought to, especially the built-in controls.

Can you take screenshots of the same app with and without AutoScaling on the MDA Pro?

Have you a simple app that displays the problem I can try on my VGA devices?

table is not hidding the cmdButtons. I can not hide the tbl because cmdHideTable is not shown,
because of the AutoScale Problem.

Hallo Klaus

Also Klaus, auf MDA werden die Steuerelemente nicht correkt gezeigt.

As as I turn the PDA Screen around, the Controls do not adjust, to Screen.
Your Screen Pictures you have uploaded, look just like the Display on my MDA.

1. it is showing correct also just like your pics show it.
2. but as soon as I turn the MDA Display, the Controls do not Auto Adjust to the Screen.

wiil try to take a Picture using the Cam, then Upload.
the App for Screen Capture does not work on my PPC.

Best regards
William

OK

Zip file containing two Photos, one not so good.
But still able to ident. the Photos.

photo DC2 actually is the AutoScale problem. photo DC1 as you can see, displays correct.

as you can see on DC2 the Table is shown, but something missing. There are no controls visible. HideTbl... also we can not access the scrollBar from the tbl. Nore do we reach our cmdButtons.
