Summary0002078: Problem with the caption design editor
DescriptionThe dialog that is shown for edit a caption is truncated. The buttons are not shown. I am using large fonts. I think it must be not scaled. Or there are some problems with anchors.
TagsNo tags attached.

Does it help when you change GradCaptionsEditor.Scaled to True?

I'm not willing to change my system configuration for bug-hunting.

The problem is in JvStringsForm. The form is sizeable which messes it up. There is other design editors with the same problem.

Now only the controls are scaled (Scaled=True, AutoScroll=True)

Possibility is to set AutoScroll to False, then the form will be scaled too.

Other possibility is to set Scaled to False, so nothing will be scaled.

Using anchors is problematic because we can't use DesignSize in the dfm for Delphi 5 compatibility reasons.

IIRC, this is the method we've used with other forms/dialogs.

Do you know why Scaled isn't set to true? Any specific problems? D5/D6 problems?

At first glance setting Scaled to true (and AutoScroll to false for sizeable forms) is the most easy solution.

The following link might be useful: http://www.bcbdev.com/faqs/faq96.htm

I'll look through the design-time forms and change the forms that look ugly with big fonts to the - in the link described - camp A:

* Design your program from a machine that uses small fonts
* Set Scaled to true for the form
* Set AutoScroll to false

It might be useful if Daniel Simon could report the other design editors that have the problem / report other issues regarding large fonts.

Well, it avoids the problem by not scaling anything :)

The design editors of the following componentes: JvDBUltimGrid and JvDBGrid show a truncated form. JvScheduleEditorForm and the Segmented Display Maped Led Editor show truncated text of some labels (the last two editors show a corret form size).

I've adjusted those dialogs. I don't know if you use the latest JVCL, but if you do, could you give feedback so I can close this report.

Using the latest build (8-Set-2004), the forms are ok now.
