GUI appearance across operating systems

[tmach]

Hello everyone,

    I have created distribution kit for my application in CVI. The operating system is windows XP. Now I install the software on other systems with different operating systems. The front panel text and controls on the panel get distorted on other systems, while it is just fine on my XP PC.

   Is there any way I can keep the consistency in the GUI appearance across different operating systems and different PC's.

Thanks.

Hello tmach,

The issues you are seeing could relate to changes in screen resolution, drivers, and/or system fonts.  First, I would try setting the resolution adjustment of your panel to 100% (you can do this from the Edit Panel >> Other Attributes dialog or programmatically with the SetSystemAttribute function before calling LoadPanel).   The "Resolution Adjustment" attribute of a panel specifies whether the panel and its contents are scaled when displayed on screens with different resolutions.  I would read over the following post and note the comments made by LuisG for further suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Hope that helps.
