Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. I have a Strataframe Winforms app sitting on a server. People run the app from their various local machines. On some Windows 7 machines, I have noticed that the display is kind of goofy - group boxes and ListViews do not appear as they do I my XP machine. Most of the time they are stretched to the maximum width of the screen and sometimes the ListViews are squished on the Windows 7 machines.

At least I am assuming that this is aWindows 7 anomaly. I suppose it could be the monitors that these people are using.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and what did they do to fix it?

TIA.

Marcia

Hi Marcia,

The problem is the size of the Font in Windows.  By default all Windows flavor will have the OS font set to "Smaller 100%), now with large monitors users play with the resolution and OS Font size to be comfortable with the display, if user changed the OS Font to Medium or Larger, then your WinForm application will not look as expected and very, very funky.

If the above is your case, then ask the user to set the OS Font to default (Smaller 100%) and to play with the Video Card Resolution to get a comfortable image.
