Device screen <> emulator screen.

I'm only into b4p by 2 days so please do forgive my ignorance.

I have searched the forums and help w/o any luck so here is the question: The form layout on desktop designer is perfect. When running the app on the device the screens are all messed up. Text is missing, lines are squished, etc. I'm writing for an Axium X51V using a screen size of 480w X 640h. WM6.5 and .NET 2.0 on the device.

This happens compiling for device.exe. Auto scale compile makes the form 4 times bigger than the actual screen.

Cheers,
Bob

Did you change the designer screen size?

Generally you have two options:
- Keep the default size and use Auto Scale compilation.
- Set the size to 480x536 and compile regularly. (640 - 52 * 2 = height - menu bar = 536)

Thanks for the quick reply. Default size and autoscale, does work.
