Form components different sizes depending on Win7 or WinXP

[HuntsvilleRob]

Hello. I have an app written in Borland C++ Builder 6 and tested on a computer running WinXP. Everything works great. However, when I move the app to a Windows 7 OS, the app works but some of the components' sizes change, e.g.- a string grid which has height 500 and width 500 on the WinXP will suddenly have a width and height of 750 in the Windows 7 OS. Is there a setting I'm using wrong? Anyone else seen this? Thanks.

Hi,

I've just noticed that. My font has changed, it's Adobe font, but another type of font got bigger - same form.
One of forms has resized to really small dimensions.
Did you solve the problem?

Hello. Yes, I solved my problem. It didn't end up being a problem between Windows XP and Windows 7, it was just that one computer had the DPI setting set to 96 and the other computer had it set to 120. *In addition*, I had the Properties attribute of the problem form set to Scaled=true. I was able to solve my problem by changing the Properties attribute to Scaled=false, or equivalently by making sure that the DPI setting on both computers was the same and leaving Scaled=true. Hope this works for you!
