Incorect components positions

Hi!

I have faced a problem: I have an application based on Windows Forms
(Framework 1.1) - everything works just fine with 99% of computers, but
there is still 1% where components doesn't fit the window... It looks like
everything grows... but the window itself. The most interesting thing is
that I have the same problem with installer made with VS .NET 2003 ("Setup
Project"). Additional information: windows have 'AutoScale' property set
to 'true'. None of the 'infected' computers use non-standard fonts.

I've been trying to reproduce the error with my computer, but without any
luck (changed screen resolution, screen DPI, font size...).

Thanks in advance,
Piotrek

I don't know about .NET winforms, but in the case of MFC dialog boxes, you
could get this problem because you used a font that was not installed on
that machine, so the Windows guessed a font and took the nearest one that
seemed to fit.

Check if you use the Windows standard font like Arial or Times Roman for
your forms that are installed on aal Windows versions in any language.

Hello All! I have a long string that I need to make sense out of.

I know that I can change the opacity of an entire form, but is there a way to control opacity to specific controls or components? For example I want to create a form that is semi-transparent (maybe looks like a sheet of green glass) but has elements or graphics on top that I want to be opaque. Perhaps I want the sheet of glass to have writing or other graphics "painted" on the surface. Is there some way to mix varying transparencies...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
