Whenever i opened forms built at other pc having some other monitor with bigger size to modify or to check the forms on the smaller one then the forms never fits to screen. Some portion of the form is visible and some not. There is too little scroll bar to see rest part of the form.

But The forms fit good which built on the same PC. I have try this problem out but resizing the canvas size and the windows size. Match both sizes but did not sort this problem out.

Try to set WIDTH and HEIGHT Forms applet parameters to values that are used by most of your users (for example, 1024 x 768 *should* be OK).

These values are set in FORMSWEB.CFG file (you'll find it it Developer_suite_home\forms90\server directory (name might differ, depending on your Forms version)) and look like this:

# Forms applet parameter
width=1024
# Forms applet parameter
height=768

Hi,

Based on the windows resolution you can set the ClientDpi values in the parameter. Eg : ClientDpi = 82 or ClientDpi = 90

Hi,

To set this clientDPI parameter you have to do the below steps

1. add the following param <PARAM NAME="clientDPI" VALUE="%clientDPI%"> in basejip.htm/webutiljip.htm and basejini.htm/webutijini.htm.

2. add clientDPI = 85 or 92 ect., in your formsweb.cfg file or add clientDPI in runtime parameter like http://localhost:7750/forms/frmservlet?config=xyz&clientDPI=85 or 90 or 92

this clientDPI will increase the font size and screen size...

Regards,
Suresh.V

Understood.

What do those values mean? (width x height set to 1024 x 768 is easy to understand as it is screen resolution). What is 85 or 90 or 92? What values do those numbers represent? Ah (ring a bell), DPI = dots per inch?
