Windows Forms - Full Screen Anchor Problems


Hi,

We have an application running that uses FULL SCREEN ANCHORING in Windows
Forms. The application runs fine on all of our desktops and some laptops.

We are having problems with certain Dell laptops using an Nvidia Go graphics
driver (multi screen). When the app goes full screen - .NET does not detect
the right and bottom boundary of the screen - therefore all of the buttons
etc. that are anchored to either the right and/or the bottom of the screen
are gone (i.e. the form just expands off to the right and bottom of the
screen).

We have tried every conceivable option:
1) display settings
2) installing new drivers
3) different screen resolutions
4) disabling/enabling multi screen modes
5) hooking it up to an external monitor
6) etc. etc. etc

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a way I can trick .NET
anchoring into realizing that there is a right and bottom border so the
controls on the form render properly?

Thanks in advance for your help!

How can I change the size of the forms in my Windows application when the screen resolution the user has is higher than the one I developed the application in?

Let's say I have an MDI parent form with a textbox. If I create an MDI child form and, at runtime, move the MDI child window over the textbox on the MDI parent, the textbox appears in front of the MDI child window. How can I make the MDI child window appear in front of any controls that may be on the MDI parent? thanks, John

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,...
