MDI Child Controls and Form Resizing Too Large Problem

[IcedCrow]

I have a problem.

I have an MDI application. The child form displays just
fine if it's not an MDI Child.

Once it becomes an MDI Child though, it resizes itself
way too large. The controls become large, the font
large, and none of it fits on the form any longer...

I've looked everywhere I can think of but I cannot find a
solution to this problem. Has anyone else experienced
this and if so how do you fix it?

Hi IcedCrow,

Love the name :-)

An MDI Child takes it's cue, like children should, from its parent. If you drop a button onto your parent form it's likely that
that too will be outsized.

Take a look at the parent's Font. I imagine that will have been pumped up a bit too far, somewhere along the way.

If not, come back again :-)

Regards,
Fergus

Fergus,

Thanks for the help man. That was indeed the problem
*smacks head*... it's amazing how many different things
you look at when the answer is so blindingly obvious *lol*

Appreciate the help again!
