Problems after changing font size in my properties

[Heike]

After I changed my properties from "little fonts" (96 dpi) to "big fonts" (120 dpi) one of my forms doesn't look as I designed it. All other forms keep their appearance. In this specific form I have a tabcontrol and therefore I think that this may cause my problem.

 

Within my first tabpage I have a treeview and some textboxes, labels and so on. But my controls aren't visible, not at runtime and not in the dev environment. They changed their location and now they are somewhere out of sign.

 

Has anyone an idea or does anyone know if this is a bug?

Some developers have found that changing the application's web.config file to encode the pages as 'ISO-8859-1' (Western European) may fix some font issues, especially when dealing with Netscape. I believe, by default, UTF-8 is used.

I don't know if you are using windows or web here, but I have seen this happen often in windows version. If something you are doing isin't allowed by the ide, it often removes these controls from the form.

 

I have got around this by going into the WindowsDesinger section in the code file and manually add the controls back to their appropriate container and then see wher it goes wrong.
