large font size causes bottom of forms to be chopped off...(Framework v2 / VS2005, C#)
a user is running an app (which works fine on "normal" PCs) .....he's running it on a laptop with a large font size...what is happening is my forms (most are fixed dialog types) looks like it's being chopped off at the bottom...the top 3/4 looks fine but my "OK", "Cancel" buttons and status bar are chopped off (can partially see the buttons) ...this surprised me as i thought Windows would take care of all scaling ....any ideas so it shows up properly for all font sizes ? ...thanks looks like i have to do something like this?:

GetAutoScaleSize is obsolete ...looks like AutoScaleMode should now be used.... any examples to autoscale a form with the new calls ? thanks Show quote "Arrow" <arrow***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23hRb8IALGHA.740@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > > looks like i have to do something like this?: > http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/58/292722.aspx > > > "Arrow" <arrow***@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:%23XqO$6$KGHA.3052@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... >> (Framework v2 / VS2005, C#) >> a user is running an app (which works fine on "normal" PCs) >> ....he's running it on a laptop with a large font size...what >> is happening is my forms (most are fixed dialog types) looks >> like it's being chopped off at the bottom...the top 3/4 looks >> fine but my "OK", "Cancel" buttons and status bar are chopped >> off (can partially see the buttons) ...this surprised me as i thought >> Windows would take care of all scaling >> >> ...any ideas so it shows up properly for all font sizes ? >> >> ..thanks >> >> > > I have the same problem but I don't think that the AutoScaleMode helps us.
>> Windows Forms in .Net 2.0 are designed to automatically scale under one of two events: the Font assigned to the form changes, or the screen resolution changes. There is an AutoScaleMode property on a Form... << For me, it doesn't work when I set AutoScaleMode to "none". The font size is still large when the system font size is large. Does anybody how to ignore the system font size?
