I have just noticed some strange effects on my laptop, which is set to 120
dpi. It is a Dell widescreen laptop set to 1680 x 1050, and at 96 dpi the
text is too small. However, at 120 dpi, my Windows forms application doesn't
always create my user controls correctly. Checkboxes are only half-drawn,
and my progress bar and track bar don't appear at all when several are
created at once.
Strangely, though, when user controls are created one-at-a-time they appear
correctly.
[I have the screen set to this resolution and dpi because i) it is the
recommended one for the m/c by Dell, and ii) it gives by far the best
visibility and readability of all the others]
Are there any particular steps I should take to ensure that my UI behaves
correctly with a different dpi setting?
TIA

Charles,
I have seen this question before, can you Google for it yourself the
newsgroups?
I don't know anymore if it was answered.

Set Autoscale = false in the designer.

Thanks for the tip. It does the trick. Odd that it should need setting to
the opposite of what one would intuitively have thought, according to the
description in the Help.

Hi Cor
I started to search for it but then Mr Scorpion posted an answer that seems
to cover it.
Cheers.
