Hi,
I am trying to move controls around in a form based on user selection on a
combo-box. So i hard coded the location and distances of where and how much
to move controls by in my program. Everything works fine on my machine. But
when i run my program on another machine which has a diferent DPI setting on
the monitor(mine was 120 and the other machine was 96) the control position
and the distances were bad. I am assuming that it because when i move a
control down by a given distance (100) to a certain location, the distance
evaluates to be a different location on the other computer with different DPI
setting. I know some people used to have similar problems in VB6 but i
thought microsoft fixed it in .NET. How do i make my form appear uniform on
both computers with different DPI settings? I would appreciate any help or
suggestions in this regard.
Thank You,
Vish

Vish,
By default the DPI is 96. I guess the problem you having is because the form
has its AutoScale proeprty set to true. This makes the form to to adjust
based on the used font. The size of the font letters are affected by the DPI
settings so I guees that's why you get different result. Usually this is not
a problem, but mybe in your case it is.
Try to turn off this property.

Hi Goutsev,
I appreciate your suggestions. That was not the problem in my case. I tried
setting the AutoScale property of the form to "None" but that did not fix the
problem. Any other ideas to try and fix the problem would be wonderful?

I'd like to write a programme that runs on a PC with two monitors. The application would be used in
a shop, with one monitor for shop assistant and the other for the customer. The two must show things
independently, so the application can display certains things on one monitor (eg goods in the store)
and certain other things on the other monitor (eg details of a certain product). Is this possible?

To reproduce the problem, do the following:

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,...
