Font problem in Windows

(1/4) > >>

kpuchatek:
Hi,

I just downloded CBlocks and looks great  :P But I think it has nasty problem with large fonts
on MS Windows. Maybe somebody could confirm that. It is typical problem of open-source or
shareware software. You go to Contronal Panel and change fonts to Large.
Then dialogs are not displayed correctly - windows are not resized properly.
Is any solution to that for CBlocks ?

Thats because those authors were lazy when they wrote there dialogs and most likely used an absolute position for the widgets.  So if the widgets change size everything goes crazy.  Since CB is cross platform and it can't depened on absolute sizes for widgets everything is layed out with sizers, which automatcially adjust windows based on the widgets they contain and how much space each one needs.

Note:  I have seen plenty of VB dialogs layed out using absolute position.  If this were a problem with CB we would of already seen it because people run on windows and linux which have significantly different sizes for some widgets and definelty fonts.
