Overflowing GUI control

S

Sharon

Hi,

I have a form with TabControl and a TabPage in it.
In the tag control there is panel control (lets call it panelA) and in it my
user control that include few control inside of it.

In my development computer everything looks fine. But on some other
computers, the panelA control is overflowing outside the right boundary of
the TabPage together with all of its child controls.

What can cause this kind of a problem?

I'm using VS2005 on a WinXP SP2.

Other than what Nicholas suggested about posting an example, could it be
that your project is compiled using an older version of the .Net as the
version the other computer is running?

In other words, are you perhaps compiling your project using .Net 2.0 but
then the client computer only has .Net 3.0 or .Net 3.5 therefore *possible*
creating this problem?

Just a wild guess.

I'm compiling with .NET framework 2.0 and using the same framework on the other computer. So I guess this is not the problem.

I have cut out everything possible from the project, yet the controls overflowing still occur.
I have also attached the project (using the Outlook Express).
And here is the code:

Microsoft ResX Schema


Version 2.0


The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format

that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the

various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes

associated with the data types.


Example:


.... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...

<resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>

<resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>

<resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>

<resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>

<data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>

<data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>

<data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">

<value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>

</data>

<data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">

<value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the ..NET Framework object]</value>

<comment>This is a comment</comment>

</data>


There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple

name/value pairs.


Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a

type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support

text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture.

Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the

mimetype set.


The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the

ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not

extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:


Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format

that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can

read any of the formats listed below.


mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64

value : The object must be serialized with

: System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter

: and then encoded with base64 encoding.


mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64

value : The object must be serialized with

: System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter

: and then encoded with base64 encoding.

mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64

value : The object must be serialized into a byte array

: using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter

: and then encoded with base64 encoding.

Sharon,

Cold you post some pictures showing the “overflowing” problem (a picture
showing the current rendering and one showing the overflow)?

I am not sure what exactly to look for.

Thanks.
