I've designed a winforms dialog that is too large for a netbook's 800 x 480 resolution.

How can I fix that the dialog is shown properly. Is there a simple way that avoids a complete redesign?

Here's a screenshot of my problem: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2449/allgemeina.jpg

The question that you should be asking is..

Do I really need to have all of the form fields displayed at the same time?

If not, how about breaking it down into sub-groups and placing each group onto a separate tab?

I second @p.campbell in asking for a screenshot.

Perhaps take a stab at redesigning your dialog. Perhaps consider:

• using tabs
• moving some information out of the dialog
• using scrollbars

If netbooks are not used much by your users, so you just need your software to work on them rather than to be nice, you could enable AutoScroll on the Form/Dialog, or use a one or more Panel controls with AutoScroll enabled.

You will then need to check the screan size and set the size of the dialog to be no bigger then the screan before showing it.
