Im trying to prepare a simple application for use on other machines and Im running into just one bizarre problem. I went to the compile tab in VB Express project properties, switched the Configuration dropdown to release (dont understand what Im doing
by doing that but it said somehwere to do that), go to the Publish tab and published it to my desktop for no real reason other than itd be easy to find.
Next, I dragged the file onto a flash drive and put it on another windows pc that does have .Net 4.0. Now, Im sure by this point Ive skipped a very important step but the weird thing is that the application works perfectly except for the way it sizes itself.
All the calculations and guts seem to be in place and working correctly. However, it initializes with a size (width, height) Ive never set it to but that seems to be uniformly longer on both axes. I have a button that is supposed to expand the window
south by 200 or so yet it expands it by an additional amount that, again, seems to be the same as the extra length added on in the very beginning (hope that makes sense). Some groupboxes can no longer completely contain some of the labels/radio button text
also. Long story short, sizing is a problem.
Hope somebody somewhere is saying "aha! I know exactly what youre doing wrong!". But Im always worried this is a weird situation. Help!
