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?
