Texts to big for their windows

[BigAlUK]

Incidentally - take a look at the CONFIG dialog of GB-PVR. Here is a fine example of how its done right - despite my font and resolution settings, every single page is well laid out, and survives the changes made to it between upgrade versions too. Shows that my font/res setting is either not quite so outlandish, or that the dialog programmer is either very lucky or very good

..of course there is that slight chance that I might be missing that all-important checkbox that was supposed to be on this page called... :eek:

Thanks for the comment,
As a programmer, I know what causes this...

To ammend my earlier suggestion on cause - I was wrong. When I earlier ran a tool that forced the entire dialog to full screen, I discovered that the dialog contains dummy texts ready to accept data from all tuners. All that the programmer is doing is some (probably suspicious) math to size down the dialog based on the number of tuners used. Solving this very dodgy math problem to take resizing/scaling into account is not easy - I certainly wouldn't want to attempt it. It would have worked better if each tuner's text had been placed on its own 'panel' object and the unused panels set to 'no show'. Thus given that the parent dialog has its "autosize" property set, this would cause the parent dialog to shrink. i.e. make MS Windows do the math.

Like I said earlier - you'll have to search long and hard to find documentation describing tricks like this.

So - not disagreeing... just hoping for a solution that avoids reaching for the reading glasses.

a nice set of opera glasses would also do the job :p

i guess in this case sub just got lucky to leave enough space between teh checkboxes... WHAT? you did NOT tick the box next to "Fix all errors automatically."? :p

that's what i mean by real support. nobody wants to use tricks to get good results
