ShrinkerStretcher is an MS Access module that will dynamically (or statically) rescale your MS Access forms, fonts, and controls to fit any screen resolution, desktop scheme, font setting, or form window size. Using ShrinkerStretcher means you can develop applications without concern for your end user's display settings! Scale your 800x600 application up to 1024x768, or to any other resolution.
ShrinkerStretcher supports varied display settings including any resolution, small-large-custom fonts, wide scroll bars, thick borders, and more. Use ShrinkerStretcher dynamically, to rescale your forms at every resize event, or statically (.mdb files only), to scale all forms to match the current resolution.
It's easy to add into your new or existing applications. Just add a reference from your Access database to "ss2000_91.mdb" ("ss2000d_91.mde" if you are using the shareware version), then use the supplied function ?SS_OpenForm? instead of ?DoCmd.OpenForm? to open your forms.
The Access 2000 registered version will convert to, and can be used with Access 2002.
Installation Instructions, Getting Started Tips, And Documentation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Step 1 ***
......................
If you've received a zip file archive ("ss2000_92.zip" or "ss2000d_92.zip"), double-click on the zip file to open it, then double-click on the "Setup.exe" file and follow the instructions on the screen to install ShrinkerStretcher on your computer.
(To run the demo, double-click the "ss2000d_92.mde" file in the folder you installed to, or select "ShrinkerStretcher v92 demo for Access 2000" from the start menu.)
*** Step 2 ***
......................
To use ShrinkerStretcher with your Access application:
Add a reference from your database to "ss2000_92.mdb" (or "ss2000d_92.mde").
See the help file for more information on how to add a reference.
Or, If you have registered ShrinkerStretcher, you can instead import the "basShrinkerStretcher" module and the "clsSinkSSFormEvents" class module directly into your application. If you import these modules into your application, you will also need to make sure that your application references the following library (it probably already does):
Microsoft DAO 3.x Object Library
Alternately, you can set the ShrinkerStretcher conditional compiler constant "SS_DAO_OR_ADO" to "ADO", and then make sure that your application references the following libraries:
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.x for DDL and Security
*** Step 3 ***
......................
Open your forms with the supplied function "SS_OpenForm" instead of "DoCmd.OpenForm".
Example:
'DoCmd.OpenForm "MyFormName" <== old way
SS_OpenForm "MyFormName"
See the help file for more information about the "SS_OpenForm" function.
