layout on screen keeps changing.. Arg

I have an application that has been designed for 600x800. The app is non
sizeable, yet when I run it on certain machines, the layout is changed. For
instance. I have a picture box that in design mode and when I run it on my
machine has a height of 175 and width of 190. When it runs on my client the
height stays 175 but the width is 260. This is driving me crazy. Any ideas?
Anything at all?

There are a bunch of odd things that can do this - maybe????

Look at Anchor, Dock, Max..., Min..., and GetPreferredSiz e.

Also I hear there are supposed to be some AutoSize property but it isn't
supposed to work.

Hi Stacey,

Thanks for your posting!
Did the problem occur with other UI on the winform?
e.g. the Font changed, or other button changed?

You may try to check the if the Screen Resolution setting is changed.
1. right click on the desktop
2. Click Properties
3. Check Setting to see if the resolution is same on the different machines
4. Click Advanced,
5. Click General
6. Check DPI setting to see if it is same on the different machines

Also what is your machine environment?
e.g. What is the OS version, .NET framework version?

Also I think you may try to make a test program with just an picturebox to
see if the problem reproduce.

Best regards,

Peter Huang

I'm using Grid Layout basically because it was the default, but I've got the whole page designed and changing to Flow layout would be a royal pain, I think... But now, I find I need to position a label on the far right of the screen. Is there a way to that in Grid layout so that it's essentially docked on the right regardless of the client's window width? Thanks. Jerry

In order to constrain the screen real-estate a datagrid takes, I use an HTML Grid Layout Control with scrollbars. One problem, however is that the datagrid changes horizontal size depending on what's being displayed. It would be nice to be able to adjust the horizontal width of the Grid Layout Control so that the vertical scroll bar would always hug the right side of the grid regardless of the dynamic width. Is there any way to make...

Hello, In classic ASP, I used to use two include files on each page, one before and one after the main content, to provide a consistent layout across a web site. That way I could just change the include files to change the layout. When I came to ASP.NET, I used user controls to do a similar thing. I have just been looking at master pages, and it looks like they do the same thing. If so, is there any advantage in using them over the...

There are plenty of people around these groups who promote the idea of flexible page design. However, while employing relative units and not fixing column-widths is a big improvement on fixed-pixel layouts, it isn't really enough IMHO. In principle the user can indeed set his window-size to what he wants, and sites will then adjust to that. The adjustment will however not be optimal for all sites. The problem becomes evident if one...

Hi, I am new to this newsgroup and need help in the following questions. 1. I am workin' on a GUI application. Does C# provides Layout Managers the way Java does to design GUI? I know that it can be done using the designer but I intentionally don't want to use that. The one reason is that you cannot change the code generated by the designer. The other could be that you have more free hand and control to design your GUI. 2....

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,...
