Font size is messing up my form!

Hi,
When working with high display resolution it's sometimes preferable to
increase the general font size using control panel-> display properties->
settings -> advanced -> general -> Display -> DPI setting.

However I find that my form area doesn't scale correctly with this settings.
Buttons and other controls are enlarged and moved but the form itself doesn't
increase in size. How is this problem solved. Is there a way to 'lock' the
size and fonts for an application

Regards Jesper, Denmark.

Jesper,

If you don't want the controls to resize set the form's AutoScale proeprty
to *false*.
