Size of controls

Hello Newsgroup,

i have got some problems on chineses PCs. I have create a program on a
german system. The system already runs with now problems in some other
countries. But if i will install this program on some chinese pcs
( not all ) then some buttons or labels are changed in size. They are
too large.
Have somebody an idea how i can change this ?

Best regards

Dennis

It seems to me that you need to determine what culture settings .NET is
using on the machine and then adjust the control property sizes
programmically.

Hello Mr. Arnold,

no i think not, because it is only on few computers. It is not on all
computers with chineses signs. Additionally not all controls will be
resized. The windows have the same size but the controls in this
windows are greater. My partner from germany can not recognize this
problem, because it is only on some computers.

He try to solve the problem with an autoscale feature but it don't
solve the problem.

It's not a DPI setting on the chinese pcs is it?

Hi all I have a Form that is inherited from a main form. On the child form I am putting 2 panels directly on the form, not in any other controls. If I build the project, 1 of the panels decides to re-size itself, but the other one doesn't. Obviously, I don't want the panels re-sizing every time I perform a build. Has any-one encountered this behaviour at all? If I look at the code in the form, the size of the panel is correct, but...

I'm developing my first VS2005 C# web application. On my master page I have a "contentplaceholder" and it covers a small portion of the screen. I can place controls anywhere on the pages that use it however this "break" is annoying. Does anyone know how to resize the content place holder - I've tried everything (tables, drag&drop, etc.) Thanks very much!

Hi everyone, I have a DataGrid that displays data on a dialog application. When the dialog is resized, the datagrid keeps the same shape, We would need the datagrid to keep a relative shape compared to the rest of the dialog when the user resizes it. Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks!

Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be, but after a Layout event on an MDI form, the form's new width is set, but the MDIClient's width is not. As an example, start a new Windows Application, and for the code use: Public Class Form1 Dim TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3 As New TextBox Dim The_MDIClient As MdiClient
