distorted bitmap

[jolly]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with clickable bitmaps on forms. This seems to be the only way of implementing a bitmap button. Anyway, I put the bitmap on the form and tell it to lock the image size. However at runtime if the form is maximised the bitmap is grossly distorted. Simlarly, selecting the "Maintain Aspect Ratio" option has no apparent effect.

Does anyone know how to stop OW from distorting bitmaps on forms?

Cheers,
JohnO

This isn't the ideal solution, but if you size your screens proportionately to the maximized run-time size while you are in design mode, you can possibly avoid too much distortion.

Adjust your Form Guide size to be run time compatible such as 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 and select Size to Guide under Layout in the form design utility.

Thanks Q, that more or less fixed it!

If only it worked when I used a custom size for the guide. I wanted this form to be quite small - around 500w x 300h pixels.

Anyway, it's good enough.

Cheers,
