Button not showing on certain computers!

[Lars Netzel]

Hi!

I have an application that starts witha login form.with two buttons there. A
"Point To Database" and a "Log In". After you login you get to the
application.

In the login form these two buttons are not showing on my customers Computer
but it shows fine on all the computers at our company and on my computer
home.

I'm developing this in Visual Basic .NET 2003 on an XP pro with SP1 and
FrameWork 1.1.

The thing is the buttons in the rest of the application shows fine at the
customer.. it's only in the loginform they do not show... which makes me
confused!

The customer has the same Versions of things except that he's not having
Visual Studio installed.

Please help/
Lars Netzel

Lars,

Sometimes I read in these newsgroups that it can be because of the
virusscanner, I thought yesterday as well, however I do not see that message
again.

Are you sure the buttons are not shown at all? Mabe the machine is
running with a different # of dpi and the buttons are moved out of view.

Hi!

would never have crossed my mind... I changed the DPI from 96 to 120 on my
developer computer and it look VERY similar to what it looked like at the
customer. I guess this is the problem.. thanx for the tips!

So next thing.. How do one handle things like this? Do I expect him to use
96 dpi or can you in the application take care of these problems?

Well, when writing my message I thought that it's very inlikely the
reason for this phenomenon... ;-).

Is your form's 'AutoScale' property set to 'True'?
