Visual Styles and Button Text

Hey there,

I've seen in several instances where certain (non-standard) visual
styles on WinXP can cause the text on .Net form button controls to
display incorrectly. Usually, the last letter of the button text will
be cut off regardless of how large the button is drawn, so the 'OK'
button becomes the 'O' button.

My guess would be that these themes are using non-standard fonts for
controls and the standard draw methods of the button class do not take
this into consideration. As more users are utilizing VS tools like
StyleXP and WindowBlinds to customize their desktop, I'd like to figure
out a way to compensate for this display issue.

Has anyone else seen this and maybe come up with a way to compensate?

Just disable visual styles in your application.
