App display different on PCs other than development PC

Part of an app I developed in VB.Net populates a listbox with data using a
uniformly spaced font (Courier New) and spaces the data out evenly into
columns. When I run the application from my own machine, everything looks
fine. When I install it anywhere else, though, the font appears smaller,
which totally offsets it from the heading labels I have on the form.

At first I thought it was an issue of the font not being installed on the
other machines, but I was able to find it on all of the machines I've tried.
Is there anything I can try?

On a related note, I recently added a splash screen to my app. While it
looks fine on my display, everywhere else the right edge is clipped. How am
I supposed to develop when I can't see what other people will see when they
run my apps?

Thanks for your help.

I'm sure it sounds kinda nutty to display 200 columns and 500,000 rows of data. But I have been pulling data from a Lotus Notes database into Sql Server for a while now, but Lotus Notes is starting to crack, columns getting corrupted. Can't handle the volume of data and number of columns. Sql Server has no problem. But displaying the data is the big deal. The end users want to be able to scroll acros a page to the colum of their...

We have DB2 UDB v8.1 fixpak3 on AIX 5. Production and Development configuarations (at least for DB2) are identical albeit production is a 2-way server while development has only one processor. Tables and indexes have the same schema. In fact, the dev database was taken from a prod backup recently. Size of the tables differ slightly. Yet, on a given query (with 4 tables joined), it took 30-50 times longer to run in prod than on development....

In our company, i have three servers; 1) a development server (mine only - here i make daily changes and test my stuff) 2) a test server (for the users to test milestone builds - changes weekly) 3) production server (for when a new build is fully tested, and stable) The problem is that the connectionstring in the web.config, should be replaced with something else, for each of the enviroments.

Hello, I have a page under development which will have a couple of buttons on it. I want those buttons to be context sensitive so that if button1 is clicked, the user enters information into two different controls... but if button2 is clicked, then only one control is used and it is different than the other two. I guess I could drag and drop all those components on the page and then mess with their visible properties. But that code...

I have a Windows App that is doing some work and then writing a "Now Processing..." line to the status line of the window as well as the Textbox on the form. But the problem is that the work is in another class from the main class. So it couldn't access the Status Line or textbox. So what we did was set them up as properties: string IStatusDisplay.Status

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...

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.
