Problem with cross-windows compitability on C# with layout and language

Question

Hi all,

i am developing a C# Application with .Net Framework and Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7. On Windows 7 it looks like I want it to, but when I startet the program on Windows XP, the layout is not the same than in Win7. Some buttons are on slighty different position and a Panel of a splitcontainer was much larger.

I also tried to change the dpi of XP to 120 dpi with no other result.

I created it as a multilanguage application and it works well on 7, but when I started it with XP, i had problems, too. It only starts the english version of it, even if I start it on an german XP.

Had anyone faced this issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

Answer 1

I just found a way to deal with the formating problem.

I had to set the Form Property AutoScalMode to "Dpi" and it works fine.
