I have a Dell Latitude E6410 with it's screen resolution set to 1280 X 800 (recommended). When I display my VB6 program on it, I can see the entire form (set to maximum or to initial IDE size).
When I plug in my InFocus projector, the default is to immediately show the same 'stuff' on both screens.
I want, however, to 'Extend' my desktop so I can see one form of my program (ANSWERS to my Game program) on my computer screen while the audience only sees the other form (my main one) on the projector (which includes the QUESTIONS). This is not an issue to do this.
I have both 'screens' set to the same resolution in my Win 7 Screen Resolution portion of the Display screen in the Control Panel.
My PROBLEM however, is when I project (move) my main form to the projector, the form does not all fit within the screen boundaries I see on that that projector....depending upon how I change the screen resolution for the projector (using the control panel), the form will either be cut off on the left or on the right.
I have tried setting the main form to open as maximum, and also have tried setting the top and left of the form to zero and setting the height and width of the form to the height and width of the screen (in the form load function). But neither does the trick....the main form simply does not 'fit' on the projector screen. boundaries.
And, depending upon if I make the projector OR the laptop as the 'Main Screen'(in the Contol Panel), I get varying results where the main form will actually appear much smaller on the laptop, even if 'Maximized'.
I have tried changing the resolution on the projector itself, but it makes little difference (it may shrink the form's width a little, but not enough to see the entire form). I have also tried (on the projector), to set display width and height, but that also makes very little difference (if at all).
Any ideas?
