Lay out problem.

I have an application using TTabSheets and a few other components placed on those few TTabSheets.

As long as I stay in my development environment it is OK. But when I start the program in another environment (other Windows, other computer ...) I start to get a distorted layout. The components don't fit any more on the TTabSheets or they look too small or shifted.

Why is that ? What would be the precaution to take in order to have the program keep the same look wherever it is run ?

Thanks.
 
Yea. It really sucks. Yer problem source is the Windows Desktop's Font size property. When you design a GUI you should keep yer mind that the App may run in different font sized desktop.

I remember an article in Borlan Community that has many solution to avoid that problem you explained before. Sorry I ain't remember the correct link (it maybe in download page in Borland Builder section at - official FAQ or HINT or sumthin like that).
