Question

My development PC's LCD size is 17-inch. I develop application which fits to my LCD. Every controls is placed at proper place and whole screen area is used.

Problem is that end-users of this application has different screen size i.e. 17, 19, 21, 15 and e.t.c.


End-users (having screen size greater than 17) demanded to use all screen area by spreading controls and increasing size of controls

while end-users (having screen size less than 17) demanded that application form should be fit on screen instead of scroll bars.

Please guide and share usefull links if any. I don't want to write separate code for all end-users due to only screen size.
