[Gambas-user] Global GUI-Scale ? (Control-size & -Pos varies in different HW)

[ub2 at gmx.ch]

Dear Jussi

Another good point, I'll check that too.

Benoît's hint already brought me back to "lisible forms":
> The GUI defined from the form editor scales proportionnaly to the
default font height (the scale is the Desktop.Scale property).
>
> The idea behind is that the user usally choose a default font size
according to its screen and the resolution of that screen.
>
> If the default font height on two different systems have the same
height in pixels, then the dimensions of the controls will be the same
in pixels too.
> --> The dimensions *and* the positions. They both scale.

Thank you both for your help.
