How to adjust program screens to different screen resolutions.
Estimated Reading Time: 1 MinutesQuestion:
We are using the same program to run in thin client, a web browser in PC and a web browser on a phone.
Will the screen auto resize to fit the browser or do we need to have different programs for each environment?
Answer:
No, you don't need to have different versions of your program for each scenario.
You can use isCOBOL's LM-RESPONSIVE layout manager.
This layout manager automatically resizes, hides, shrinks, or enlarges controls to make the screen look good on different screen widths.
A sample is available under the isCOBOL installation folder at /sample/issamples/s-news/RESPONSIVE.cbl.
You can also find more information about how the LM-RESPONSIVE layout manager works in our User Interface documentation, under the "Creating a control" section.
