I'm working on a couple of applications which, as part of their miscellaneous options, offer the user the option to use either a small or large font (actually they toggle between 8.25 and 9.75 points) for displaying text boxes, listboxes, etc. However, I've noticed that when the switch is made, the height of my listboxes changes–sometimes by as much as 50% — more with relatively short listboxes, less with tall ones. This has the tendency to screw up the screen appearance, especially since if you keep toggling back and forth between font sizes at runtime, the listbox keps getting shorter. Is there any way to disable this "feature"? There is 1 Reply.
