I have a client with a wierd problem with win32 .NET apps. Basically the
forms do not render properly. Dialog boxes stretch, and grow each time the
app is run

It is a bit hard to explain so I've pasted a screen shot here of Sage
Financial Forcasting, but it occurs on all .NET apps:

The screen shot shows the main menu screen maximised. It should all fit on
the screen with no scroll bars.

It started on one user, but every computer he logs on to (with a roaming
profile) inherits this behaviour. I have tried uninstalling the .NET
Framework but the behaviour returns. All PCs are XP Pro fully service
packed.

The apps run perfectly, except for this display problem.

Anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Adam

I have seen such a problem. try fiddling around with these two properties
of your form. I had solved the problem with these properties but cant
remember the exact solution.

AutoScale
AutoScaleBaseSize

Hope this helps.

Do you have any anchoring going on in there? It looks like they are
anchored to something on the right. If you start the app normal does
everything fit?
