dialog boxes

[Anonymous]

Can someone take a look at the attachment. It is the same dialog box from two different computers.

The top one is how it is intended to show up, the bottom one appears to be coming in helter skelter. What seems to be messing up is what I have been trying to control at run time. Been setting the width and height. Especially the panels, that have all the scroll bars on the bottom picture.

What is the best approach to take tokeep this from happening?
Is it just a property setting?
Instead of setting width and height properties, do I need to dfine anew size?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Try to set Control.Anchor, or Control.Dock, or the combination of both
properly.

Thanks for the answer, here is what I did to make it work.
Since I was adding the controls at run time they were not part of the initializing of the form, so I added these two lines.
Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)
Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font

It fixed the controls.
