Hi, every time I design a screen I run into the big problem that it fits well on some, looks small on others, doesn't fit on others, etc.
Users start calling complaining about the size, and you have to adjust everything to each device. It's a pain.
What method is best to adjust everything as automatically as possible?
Thank you.

Doh! (slaps forehead) ActivitySize. How do I keep missing these obvious tidbits? You know before I wrote the post I opened designer to make sure I was correct and still didn't find it, but I was looking for GetDeviceLayoutValues.ApproximateScreenSize. Thank you.

I opened designer, went to scripts, pressed CTRL+SPACEBAR. It does nothing on my Asus Win10 computer.

ActivitySize - I simply would not associate this with screen size in inches in my head. I have a special knack for not being able to find the commands I need.?

"It DOES work in the IDE, just not the designer. "

That animated gif, as you can see, is the Designer.
If it doesn't work for you, in a new project and placing the cursor on an empty line (designer-script) open a thread asking the question.

I too have a lot of trouble finding the right commands, both in the design and in the code, but I guess it's because I don't think in English.
