I have an issue when running my GUI under Chinese and Korean versions of XP where some of the defined controls are not in the proper location. The UserControl boxes I use for graph and table data expand pushing the location of the buttons, which are located below the UserControls, below the display window. See the normal and anomaly pictures below. This application runs fine under other XP versions and with regional settings set to Chinese or Korean. It only happens under real Chinese XP or Korean XP versions. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Go into Control Panel + Display + Advanced and change the DPI setting to repro this problem on your own machine. You'll need to make sure that your form lays out properly when it rescales. Anchor, Dock, Resize event, FlowLayoutPanel, TableLayoutPanel.

Hi GrenadierNox,

I can understand the situation you have met because I met the same problem when running my application under Chinese XP and English XP years ago. The control on the form seems some pixel offset. When I running it under English XP with region set to Chinese, the problem won't occur. The problem occur only for different language OS.

I don't find a better solution for this kind of problem after searching. What I did at that time is correct the location in the designer.cs file of each control. At last I got a better UI for both OS.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian

Kira,
This application needs to run properly under both English and Chinese XP so I can not change the controllocations. Thanks for the comment.

Since I can not read Chinese, I have to wait until an overseas resource trys Nobugz suggestion. The information has been relayed, receivedand I am waiting a response.

The point was for you to make that change.

I would if I could read Chinese. Anyway, the DPI change seems to help so although not a real solution, it will help the customer deal with it.
Thanks
