I'm using Vista andVisual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. I recently noticed that for all my forms with FixedSingle border style, it shows a thin border in the design window, but when I actually run the program it has the same border as a sizeable window. This is a problem because all my FixedSingle forms which are 640x480 actually run as 650x490. Is this a known problem? Is the only solution to change the sizes to 630x470 forfixed borderforms? |

Vista and Win7 always honor the border padding from the display properties, even for tool windows.

Could you clarify what you mean by display properties? Something set in visual studio or something set in the operating system? And where exactly?
[Edit] Nevermind I found it. I only need the 640x480 constraint on xp so that should still work fine, so it's not a big deal. Thanks for the help. |

Are youusing the Aero theme? The size remains the same on a classic theme. |

I am using Aero, Classic works fine for me too. So after reading the thread there's no way to fix it without making it non-xp? |

You closed the thread. Do you still have questions about this?

Well I'm assuming I can't fix it, it's not a big deal because I only need the 640x480 for XP. Reading the other thread though the only answer made it not compatable with XP, I was wondering if there was a way of fixing it while still being able to run on XP. |
