Forms 12c - How to make canvas size attach to window size?

3676625Mar 21 2018 — edited Apr 5 2018

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of upgrading Forms 11g to 12c. My company has a new requirement to enable an "auto-scaling" of the form as the form window size increases. We will be implementing the webstart configuration and our application consists of several hundreds of forms, many of which have standard properties that are managed by object libaries, plsql libraries, reference forms, etc. Within these libraries some of the sizing properties are set when the application and forms within are launched.

The reason for the new auto-scaling feature is because some clients are now using smaller laptops/tablets, e.g. Windows Surface and our application is rendered very small on these devices. I understand that reducing the device display resolution would render our application larger, but it also makes it more granular. Moreso, it does the same for all other programs running on that machine.

Is there a solution that allows a canvas to attach and stretch with a window within forms when resized? Any advice is much appreciated. I'm not sure if I left out any details, but if I did just let me know.

Regards,

Johann
