[RESOLVED] Rookie Question: Why is tablet PC shrinking my form and controls?
Hi. I am trying to do two firsts...my first VS 2005 app and my first deployment on a tablet PC.
I've got the app's logic working, but the tablet PC is resizing all my windows and controls, making them slightly smaller. My app, as built, should fit fine on the dimensions of the tablet, yet all the forms, and controls thereon, are being slightly shrunk. That, of course, is causing all my picture boxes, etc. to be cut off. I tried shortening things to see if I was exceeding some sort of max size, but things still get slightly shrunk.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Well, I have totally embarrassed myself again. Given all the dire warnings I was reading about tablet PCs resizing stuff automatically, I thought it was something specifically to do with deploying on the tablet. In fact, it was a differing Windows setting between the two machines.
My development machine had its DPI setting at 120 (Large size). My tablet had it set as 96 (Normal size). I changed my development machine' setting to 96 (since I couldn't change the setting on the tablet), and everything was cool once I realigned everything in the GUI builder.
I knew I was on the right track when I changed the DPI setting on my development machine and everything there was then screwed up just like it was on the tablet.
