Is there a way to stop the tool bar from responding to changes in font size on the operation system? I've tried setting AutoScaleMode on the form to None but this seems to have no effect on the toolbar.
Hello.
Are you interested in preserving the font size of text in various parts of the toolbar, such as the text of button tools, when the user changes the DPI of the screen by right clicking on the desktop of Windows 7 or Windows Vista and then clicks "Personalize"? When you do this you can use large fonts (125% larger) or extra large fonts (150% larger).
When either of these settings are chosen everything displayed on the screen renders larger because it changes the DPI setting. Is this the change in font size that you are referring to? When the user changes the font size (DPI) of the operating system it makes sense to have the application respond. It would not be a very good UI if the user increased the font size to extra large (150%) and the size of the text in the toolbars remained the same while everything else on the screen increased.
Hi Charlie,
Yes, I am referring to the change in font size due to changes in DPI settings. We aren't supporting non-default DPI settings (this is a controlled, large corporate environment). I suppose if there isn't a way to stop the ribbon from responding to DPI settings we can handle this requirement in other ways.
Thanks for your response!
