Good day,

I have a new issue with text showing up partially outside of the box that it is supposed to be inside of.

I use the following code:
       Dim x As Single = Math.Round((_bShelter.BoundingRect.Right - 24) / 2)
       Dim y As Single = Math.Round((_bShelter.BoundingRect.Bottom - 24) / 2)
       Dim bVR As Box = fc.CreateBox(x, y, 24, 24)
       bVR.FillColor = Color.Transparent
       bVR.Pen.Color = Color.FromArgb(75, Color.Blue)
       bVR.EnabledHandles = [Handles].None
       bVR.HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.Invisible
       bVR.Font = New Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 7, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.World)
       bVR.PolyTextLayout = True
       bVR.Text = "Virtual Rack"
       bVR.Tag = "Virtual"
       bVR.ToolTip = "Right click to access virtual racks"
       bVR.TextColor = Color.FromArgb(75, Color.Purple)
       bVR.ZTop()

This seems to work great on 3 out of 4 of our laptops.  On the 4th one, however, the words "Virtual Rack" appear on 2 lines (as expected), but offset to the left of the outline of the box such that "Vi" and "R" are outside of the outline of the box.

I can send a  screenshot if you would like.

Any ideas what could be causing this??

Jeff

Will send later.  The laptop that is exhibiting the problem will not be available until 5:00 EST.

Jeff

Actually, no I have not.

We have basically determined that the problem is limited to the one laptop.  We're not sure what the issue with that unit is, but it can NOT be duplicated on any of our other test machines.

Jeff

No sir, all of the settings seem to be OK.

It only happens on a rare occasion and I can not reproduce it.  Interestingly when the text problem occurs, the same laptop will also mis-render Crystal Reports.

We believe it to be something with that laptop and its display drivers.

We used 2 other laptops, changed resolutions and color depths while the application was running, and never could get the problem to occur.

We're calling this solved unless it rears its ugly head on a different machine.

Jeff

We'd still like to find out why the problem happens - could you email me the component, or an evaluation download link if it's a third party control?

Thank you,
Stoyan
