Controls on a touch screen
Experts,
I have developed an app that resides on a touch screen system. Within this app are several combo boxes / scroll bars / multi line text boxes etc. Is there a way to increase the size of these controls so they would fit the finger?
The resolution will either be 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.
I have seen this completed under Windows NT but it was some sort of system tweak.
Please help this is very urgent, before I get any further with the project

For each control there should be a width and height property. You can change these either at design time or at run time.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
This is not what I was looking for. I know how to set the width / height properties of a control, my problem is with built in scroll bars, e.g. multiline text boxes and combo boxes etc. I know of a registry hack for the apperance to alter scroll bars, but what about the drill down arrow of a combo box.

osafak,
Does this laso include the drill down arrow of a combo box? and can this be altered at runtime?

yes, it includes combobox buttons, like listbox arrows. so far I haven't seen a way to change it at runtime. but in general, if it is a complete system like a kiosk, the theme can be set once to stay permanent.
btw, as a workaround you can run the theme file from cmd and accept it with sendkey (enter) to change desktop theme at runtime.
