Windows 2000 Fontsize on Resize of Panel

I'm using CVI 5.01. I've programmed a projekt on Windows 98. The panel
resolution was programmed for 640x480. On higher resolution the Panel
resizes the contents. Everything worked fine. Now I had to change my system
to windows 2000. When the panelsize increases due to a higher resolution the
labels of some controls gets much to large. The control settings are Font:
NIDialog Size: 11 (bold). As I mentioned before, on windows 98 the size of
the fonts was still o.k after enlarging the panel. Does anybody know how to
solve this problem whithout changig the font of every single control ???

Thanks in advance

I've experienced the same problem with LabVIEW. Also I've created and executable on Windows 2000 and when it's installed on Windows 98 the font is all distorted. Please help

Hello:
W2K, LV6.02. I use "Size the FP to the Width and Height of the Entire Screen" AND "Scale All Objects as the Window Resizes". It works well for most objects except table and boolean radio buttons.
I could accomodate with table: Row height works nicely with the "autosizing row height" property node. But for the column width I had to program a workaround: from the 800x600 (my reference for programming) column width I apply a scale factor based on the current resolution (right minus left of the panel bounds property node). That is ok. For the boolean radio button I am clueless: at certain resolutions the button is completely distorted and will overlap with other controls/indicators of the FP leading to a very sloppy look. Sad. The other issue th
at I have is how to programatically change the app default font -based on the monitor resolution I am running into I would like that the app takes another default font size. ANy hint welcome...

I am also having the same problem as the original poster. The resizing on different resolutions seems to work on single panel screens. On multiple panel screens all the controls are much too large as well as the panel being oversized. I am running CVI 5.5 and Windows2000 with sp2.
I am hoping this gratuitous *bump* will generate a response.
