Ken,

With a new version of HTR on the horizon, I thought I would put in what hopefully is a simple change which will save some mouse time.

I bring up the scratches on a window to the right of HTR. I shrink HTR to allow both windows on the screen. Then for the appropriate race, I hit scratch and it maximizes again, overlaying the window with the scratches.

So then I scratch the horses and have to close the window, read the next race, the scratch screen maximizes, etc.

Is there a way to size the scratch screen the same as the main window? Also could apply to the robot and other windows?

thanks,
Jim

Interesting idea NJ, I hope there is a simple solution for HTR2 software.

HTR2 uses a third-party software insert OCX called "RESIZE" which is used to find the Screen Resolution and match the HTR screens to the users display monitor settings. I'll check the documention and see if it can be used to apply the same idea to the current user Window size.

Since Resize seems to do the trick in terms of normal display settings, I have never fooled much with Windows dimensioning. If it can be done, i'll get it for you.
