Controls on Form change size

Hi,

I've developed a Winforms application for a few people. It's a very
basic Form with a few textboxes, comboboxes, buttons, labels and one
PictureView.

With 1024x768 screen resolution the all controls fit perfectly on the screen
(all
of them are visible).

However, with one computer/client I have big problems, since the controls on
the right
side of the Form aren't visible! They somehow seem to have changed their
positions and sizes a little bit.
(based on what I can see from the screenshot I got). One of the labels
increased it's size A LOT.
Everything (every font size, button size, ...) is fixed and hardcoded into
the Form. There is nothing
in the app settings that could cause this kind of behavior.
The app uses the same version of .Net Framework as everybody else (1.1).

What I would like to know is, can Windows settings somehow affect the Form?
Or possibly a
virus or something? What can I check?

thank you,
Saso

Check Display Properties/Appearance/Font Size
Some people make this a large value to make small text readable, but it
messes up much of the formatting in apps.

Dear All, This may sound like an elementary question but how do you implement scrollbars for the Picturebox control. Do I have to create my own code to do this or is there some property that I can set? Thank you very much for your time and consideration in this matter! Christopher Koeber

Let's say I have an MDI parent form with a textbox. If I create an MDI child form and, at runtime, move the MDI child window over the textbox on the MDI parent, the textbox appears in front of the MDI child window. How can I make the MDI child window appear in front of any controls that may be on the MDI parent? thanks, John

Ok.. I have a form with lots of stuff on it; a tool strip panel, menu strip, data binding elements (dataset, binding source, table adapter), tab control with 7 tab pages, each page contains a picture box, lots of text boxes (for input).. you get the idea. All of a sudden everything on the form has disappeared, it looks like a blank, newly created form. I can still get to the properties of every item on the form using the drop-down box in...

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls. The control i drag drop on it becomes the child of my custom control's parent form and not the child of my custom control. Then i added this line "" before my custom control class (i dont know what this line does). Now

I need a form control for the user to enter currency symbol. A select control seems to be fit for that purpose; but the problem is that the control must appear on the page several times so the formula for page size gets bounded from below by number of controls times number of currencies. Which means that 1) the page must be produced on the fly in order to be consistent, 2) the data to be transmitted can grow excessively because the...

Hi all It is maybe a stupid question, but I have some trouble with Inheritance. For example: I create a new class with one form. On this form I place on the bottom a Panel and on this Panel on the right side a button. On both controls I set Anchor (bottom, right).

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800 x 600, and the apps are too large for their screen. I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a form with the mouse and all the controls and fonts would resize to larger or smaller size. Does .Net framework 3.5 support this kind of functionality? Or -...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
