Dialogs are cropped when large fonts are used at 1600x1200

Hi,
When large fonts are used and the screen display is set to 1600x1200, many of the Teechart user interface dialogs are cropped. I can send you pictures of the dialogs if you like. Switching to small fonts displays the dialogs just fine.

I am unable to adjust the size of the dialogs because the recompile tool gives the following error: found explicitxxxx in form: ExplicitWidth = 377.

Typically I design at 1600x1200 large fonts and then verify that my app looks ok at lower resolutions and with small fonts.

How can I change the dialogs sizes and use the recompile tool to update the changes.

I have D2006 Pro and Teechart 7.07 installed.

It would be a good idea to verify your user interface dialogs at high screen resolution and large fonts. Displays won't be getting smaller!

Thanks for your help.

I can send you screen shots if you like.

Hi, Dan.

Hmm. One quick and dirty workaround might be to remove ExplicitWidth and ExplicitHeight lines from form dfm files (you can use Notepad.exe for this).
