Hello there

Since I changed all my stuff to 5.1 I get a funny problem with a picture box in one of my files.

The wmf files I load do not seem to fit anymore. Is there a setting that forces the picture to fit the box?

Thanks

Click the "Additional Options" link below, then you can browse to attach an image.
Do you need help creating the screen shot?

That's a lot more work than necessary for creating a screen shot, but it works.  What is the value of the 'Auto Size' property of the picture box?  Can you post (or email) the .odcl file?

Amsterdamned

Owen,

that value is "False". I don't want the control to resize, i want the image to fit the control.

I cannot reproduce the problem here. Can you post the .wmf file you're using, along with the lisp code that you use to load it?

owenwengerd

I tested with your .wmf files, and they appear to be working correctly for me. Loading them with the Stretch argument set to T causes them to appear smaller than necessary because the .wmf contains a lot of unused canvas in the width direction. The images you attached in your earlier post show the .wmf loaded with Stretch set to NIL, but you told me via email that you use Stretch set to T. Therefore, I'll guess that you're using NIL, which would mean the resulting size is dependent on your display resolution and Windows font settings.

 Oke. If it is depending on machine settings, I will have another problem (see my other post). I need to get that dock able form work on different computers where I don’t have any influence on their settings… How can I accomplish that?

You'll have to set Stretch to T.

Owen,

with stretch you mean the auto size?

No, I'm referring to the Stretch argument to (dcl_PictureBox_LoadPictureFile).

Owen,
Thanks, that was the problem Id didn’t even know that option was there…  :o
Was that in 4.1 already there as well? Anyhow, it works perfect.

Thanks,

The Stretch argument has been there from the beginning as far as I know.
