lightswitch screen size

Question

I developed my app on a 24" 1920x1200 screen but when its viewed on smaller screens it some of the screen does not show without even a scroll bar to view it. 

Any suggestions on how the best route to go in changing my project to allow it to be compatible with smaller screen sizes and resolutions? thanks!

Answer 2

What version of LS are you developing with?

Starting with the RTM of LS 2011, screens automatically become full screen on application startup (whereas with B2 we were able to prevent that by setting a value in a configuration file).

Once you manually set the size to something other than full screen, the application retains those values until you change them again, but I've never seen the size that I develop with affect a published app though.

Answer 3

this is done in lightswitch RTM.  I noticed I do have some objects set to specific pixel size so I'm wondering if this could be the problem.

Thanks Babloo I look and see if those links can help.

Yes, I'd agree that may be the problem.

If it's not, could you guide us, step by step, what you do, & what happens at each step?
