ShrinkerStretcher is an MS Access module that allows for dynamic and static resizing of forms, fonts, and controls to suit any desktop resolution or font setting. It enables convenient scaling for different screen sizes and form window dimensions.
ShrinkerStretcher is a software module designed for MS Access that assists in dynamically scaling your forms, fonts, and controls to fit any screen resolution, desktop scheme, font setting, or form window size. With this software, developers can create applications without worrying about end-users' display settings. Whether you want to scale your 800x600 application to 1024x768 or any other resolution, ShrinkerStretcher has got you covered.
One of the most significant benefits of using ShrinkerStretcher is that it supports various display settings, including small-large-custom fonts, wide scroll bars, thick borders, and more. It offers the option of using the software dynamically, allowing you to rescale your forms at every resize event, or you can use it statically (with .mdb files only) to scale all forms to match the current resolution.
Adding ShrinkerStretcher to new or existing applications is incredibly easy. Simply add a reference from your Access database to "ss2002_91.mdb" ("ss2002d_91.mde" for the shareware version). Then use the supplied function “SS_OpenForm” instead of “DoCmd.OpenForm” to open your forms, and you're good to go.
In addition to Access 2002, ShrinkerStretcher is also available for Access 95, Access 97, and Access 2000/2002. The Access 2000 version can convert to, and be used with Access 2002. Overall, ShrinkerStretcher is a useful software tool for any Access developer who wants to ensure their application looks good on any display setting, without the hassle of manual rescaling.
