View applications at runtime in a different target resolution size

If you have specified an application target resolution that is different than your screen resolution, WindowViewer displays the application at the specified target resolution. Only windows, window controls and graphics developed within the canvas boundary that outlines the target resolution size will display at run time. The target resolution size is automatically adjusted at run time to account for WindowViewer's menu and title bar controls.
The aspect ratio of embedded controls will be maintained at run time.
For example:

Note: If the specified target resolution is less than the screen resolution, the width and height of the runtime window cannot be adjusted beyond the specified target resolution. Maximizing the WindowViewer window will enlarge it only to the maximum of the target resolution.
If the specified target resolution is greater than the screen resolution, vertical and horizontal scroll bars will display at run time. Windows will scroll accordingly. Popup windows and popup graphics from ShowSymbol animations and ShowGraphic scripts will not be scrolled.

Error messages and popup dialogs will display in the center of the application at its target resolution, not the center of the screen. The same applies to keyboards and keypads.
