Canvas Resizing question.
Dear Experts,
I want to make a Telnet-program. So I have made an example that draws on the
canvas of the form, I have devided the canvas in 80 columns and 25 rows, and I
have draw a cursor on it. I have made a mainmenu-item that when you click on it
it will fill all cells with characters and numbers, I use this menu-item for testing.
My problem is the Resizing, I want to resize the form and when I do that the
FontWidth and FontHeight have to adjust automaticly. For example if I resize
the form to the half of the screen the font still have to be readable.
I really need your help, because I can't solve this on my own. This is the
only problem I have to finish my application. Who can help me?
I have put the example on my site: http://members.home.nl/peterkiers/
Beneath the Under Construction bar you see a floppy-disk, Click on it to
download the example.
Thank you in advanced.

I have found something else and it works for me.
procedure TMainForm.Resize;
begin
FontWidthPix :=ClientWidth div (SCRCOLS);
FontHeightPix:=(ClientHeig
end;
But their is still a change to earn the 500 points.
When I use the code above in my example, I does
just what I want, only the canvas keeps on flickering!
What can I do about that?

One solution is to have a Canvas in the background and draw on that canvas and then after finishing the drawing switch to that canvas.
