winforms on win98 problems

Hi,

I am having a problem with forms rendering differently on a windows 98
machine (It is Taiwanese aswell but hopefully that's not an issue).
The form's height is larger than I expect, but most importantly the two most
important buttons on the first tab page aren't there!

is there anything to look out for/try (the buttons are both anchored
bottom,right) ?

regards,

Richard

Does one of the systems have "large fonts" setting applied?

Have you tried to run your project on a computer other than the one that you
have mentioned? Maybe it could be an issue that is affected only that
system.

Herfried,.

I used the code at
http://www.google.de/groups?selm=brn....uni-berlin.de
(yours) to detect whether either the development machine or the test machine
were running small fonts. They both are running small fonts (96).

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,...
