form scaling

Hi,

It seems vs.net does some automatic scaling in the ide. like if i take a project develloped under 96 dpi low res and load it under 120 dpi hi res it does all kinds of automatic resizing. this is undesirable, how do you turn it off?
I have a function that scales forms on the fly (form param). but now i realize that changing the dpi messes up the scaling. i need to take the dpi into consideration but the formulas i've tried don't scale with good precision. so what would be the best scaling formula taking screen width, height and dpi?

TIA

Hi, I am trying to apply gray scaling to color as well as black/white images. I have tried using the pixel by pixel approach to achieve the scaling. But the particular approach has a issue with high mega pixel images. Is there any other approach that can be applied to achieve the gray scaling and also have a reasonable performance?

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up covering up some of the fields on the main form. Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on height rather than...

Hello, I have a problem in scaling printing. I use standard print dialog. When I click the button of "Property" in this dialog, it shows the printer's property dialog. As usual, there is a function of "scaling" in the printer's property dialog. But how can I get the value of this "scaling" in C#.net? Could you tell me the method? Thanks.

I inherited a vs2003 project which I've converted into vs2005 to run under .net 2.0. The conversion was fine and the project compiles and runs just fine until today. A user called me up asking why they cannot see the bottom of the form anymore (it's a fixed height form). I opened the project again and looked at the form and sure enough, it's exactly 180 pixels less than it used to be. Thinking I messed up, I fixed the form, recompiled...

Hi, In VB6 and earlier if the form size was expanded by the user or maximized there had to be specific code to handle controls on the form to scale with with it. In VB.net I recall in one of the MSDN videos seeing that Windows forms have a property that auto scale controls within the form. The problem is I don't see it and the ones I try don't work.

We have a 3 month old quad processor/dual core server running SQL Server 2005 and already it is getting close to hitting the CPU wall. An 8 way CPU box is prohibitively expensive and out of the question. I am looking desperately for a way to TRULY scale out SQL server...in the same way that IIS can be scaled out via App Center. The "in the box" solution for SQL Server 2005 scaling out is the DMV. Unfortunately this solution makes...

Hello, If I create a form in Java with controls like Panels, textboxes... when I stretch/shrink the form, all the controls can grow/shrink - along with the text contained in the textboxes. This is convenient for resizing a form for different screen resolutions. I can't see how to do this /control this in .Net (VS2005). I have a user that uses 800x600 resolution, and my apps appear very large on this user's workstation. How can I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
