Dear friends,

I increased paging window size to 185 characters and accessing fields with horizontal scroll bar.

But my client feedback is - the screen is not user friendly. He had to scroll up and down to get the full view.

Is it possible to minimise character size in this particular screen so that it will fit into terminal screen?

I am using proiv 4.6 native development. If anybody know please share your knowledge.

Thanks in advance,

Sudhakar Chunduri

hi,

have you tried increasing the display settings?
e.g. from 800x600 to 1280x1024

Yes, i tried that one but not solved my problem.

Moreover i don't want to do this, because it will effect to my whole environment. I want to change only to that particular screen.

Thanks.

Sudhakar,

Are you using the windows client? If so, you can make the font smaller by clicking on the small "A" at the top below the menu bar. If you don't want to leave it like that maybe somebody knows how to do this on the fly??

sudhakar,

In 4.6 there are no "good" local controls for screen sizing.

You are quite right that any change will effect the entire session. Perhaps a solution exists in creating a special session that only accesses the large screen. You'd need a separate PIV to do this...

In 5.5 there are scaling properties that can be used.

Regards,

Joseph

Thanks Joseph, and you mean to say - 5.5 version means vip ?

I tried on VIP to increase the scale to the width of 220 it does not work.
Eventually printed into the .prn file on the spooler and editted the file with a MSword,I can then see all the columns.
Perhaps you need to attach DDE script to spool to the MSWord document.

Hope this will help you.

Best Regards

Not sure what you mean by this, its a screen, not a report

For screen not to scroll I have designed the BackGround Wallpaper .GIF file for default Cycle to 1023 pixels width and 1364 pixels height with XARA 5.My customer is very impressed .No scrolling and duplication of bitmaps on screen an menus.
Whatzup Neil boy?

Thats for 5.5, the problem is with 4.6. Also sounds like the paging window is wider than what the client is able to display, thats why he's getting scroll bars. I dont think background size is going to help this problem at all

Lots going on at the moment

Sudhakar,

Not necessarily. All of the object commands are available in native. I can't speak to superlayer though...
