I’m working on a .Net Windows application. All the controls arrange fine, but when the user specifies their Windows display text to be larger than the Windows 7 default of ‘Smaller’, the controls get moved around on the form and makes it unusable.
Is there a way to lock down those controls no matter what the display text setting is at?
The solution to your problem is to use WPF as this is resolution independent.
Your workaround to the problem is to test your app in various different configurations of text size and screen resolution and put enough space around everything in standard size so that it still fits when the user resizes.
