Form and componant resizing2004-09-06 10:53:29 AM cppbuilder1 I have a question. I created an application using BCB6 under WinXP. The forms look as they showed when the appliaction is run under winxp, but things don't look right under win98. I set the size constraints for the forms and componants when it was designed. What causes this, and how do I fix it. Thanks Cory |

The The contorls when run under win98 are out of place and / or bigger / smaller then when I run the app under winxp. The forms are set to a specific size as are all the controls. What causes this change? Some of the controls overlap, bitmap images are smaller and don't fill the spot they were designed to fill etc etc etc.... what is going on? How do I fix this. |

If not it might be because no version of Builder supports XP themes and you might have unwittingly designed your forms to compensate for the differences. -- Andrue Cope [TeamB] [Bicester, Uk] info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html {smallsort} |

I initially thought that maybe the two OSs displayed componants differently which led to the difference I was experiencing. After beating my head against a wall for the last few days trying different things, I decided to load Win98 and BCB6 on a seperate drive on my computer and recompile the application under Win98. That would at least tell me if it was that computer or my application. Thanks Cory |
