Its not possible to fit all contents on smaller screen,there are tabs on view and there are classses for dialogs.Making it smaller means almost like recreating it which is not possible

You said your app was MDI but mention tabs, views and dialogs. Strictly speaking, MDI is all views. In MDI, views will scroll if the screen is not large enough, but dialogs do not (by default) scroll, and tabs may or may not depending on how you implemented them.

==> If your app was designed for a larger screen and is run on a smaller screen, you will have to manually resize all dialogs (and probably tabs) to fit the smaller screen, or controls might be shown off-screen, and unavailable for use with the mouse. Keyboard shortcuts should still work even if the control is off the screen. Anything that is view based will work as is but will require scrolling by the user.

MessageBox() messages are resized dynamically and should take care of themselves without modification.
