Hope someone has some ideas - this is driving me nuts,
I am using VS2008 and have a tightly layed out form at 8 pts. The form
has a font dialog and when the user changes the font size, everything works
great. I go through the forms control collection (recurively) and everything
resizes as it should.
Ok, so the next step is to remember the font size selected by the user
and select it when the form is loaded. Woops - does not work! So, I try to
do it 'earlier' in a Sub New() and it still does not work. I try it later,
in the Activated event and same problem, the form never resizes. So all the
controls have the new (larger) font, but the form (and the controls in it)
have not resized!
Ok, so I think, well I will also have to set the form size myself. This
almost works!
Some parts grow as they should, some grow more then they should and some
don't grow at all!
So, if the user is able to select a font, and it works, how do I
duplicate that when the user starts up the application again? Is there some
place besides New/Load/Activated that I should be doing this from?
TIA,

Is your restore font size method different than the one you are using
to change the font size when the user changes it? Ideally, the restore
should be just retrieving a font value from a data store (.config,
registry, seperate xml, etc) and then running the same method you use
when the users changes the font size.

it all works fine, sorry for wasting anyones time.

Hi All;
I, like others, have been frustrated with designing
forms that look and flow the same in both IE and Firefox.
They simply did not scale the same.
I have discovered, to my chagrin, that IE7 does not seem
to offer any way to control the font size of a text input
element.

Is there a way to / or a mathematical formula to see if a font size is 'too
big' for a label.
I have a label that is docked to 'fill' a form, and I want to resize that
font based on the width and height of the label.
So far I have something like this on the Form_Resize event:
Label2.Font = New Font(Label2.Font.Name, _
Label2.Size.Height - 100, Label2.Font.Style)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
