Font in Form becomes too large

[dlare9]

Hi again,

I don't know if anyone have experience this, but some of my label becomes too large that it exceed my form . This Happens when I change my font size in my display properties to "large" and "extra large".

Is there a way to make my label to adjust depending on the system font size?

my OS is WinXP and I'm using BCB v6.


thanks,
gerald

Forgot to mention that the buttons in my forms are somewhat misplaced and can't be shown completely no matter what adjustment to the form I make.

Well, if it's a matter of knowing the width and height of the text in the label and then adjust position then you can get those values like this:

char Buffer[100]; // Well, whatever size or constant
sprintf(Buffer,"This is a test"); // Demo just to fill in
int Width = FormX->Canvas->TextWidth (Buffer);
int Height = FormX->Canvas->TextHeight(Buffer);

It should be possible to use:
int Width = FormX->Canvas->TextWidth (Label->Caption.c_str());
int Height = FormX->Canvas->TextHeight(Label->Caption.c_str());
but i haven't tried it.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.
