Re: VB.net forms, how far is too far?

Hi Guys,

If you do the Fruit Basket tutorial for Visual Studio and C#, it makes pixel 
positioning pretty clear. The pixel dimensions are a property of the form in VB 
and C# and likely for all VS programming languages that use the IDE.

Hi Inthane: the Display Monitor Resolution is independent of the Forms being 
displayed on it. But the forms will depend on the Monitor's Resolution. The 
Resolution is a System Property and you can find it or set it in the Windows 
ControlPanel. You are limited to the minimum and maximum pixel size allowed for 
your Monitor. Older monitors had less resolution. Mine allows a 1024 by 768 
resolution but I could set it lower if I wanted. A Form uses pixels as a means 
of addressing the display surface. It is a container where you create what you 
want to display someplace on the monitor and then set the start location for 
the form in terms of pixels. You do the same thing for the controls you put on 
the form but their relative pixel address, locations, are relative to the upper 
leftmost position of the form where the form is relative to the upper leftmost 
corner of the monitor's display screen in most cases.
Did you see my short series on positioning?
