I don't mind calculating the correct font sizes etc myself. Unfortunately, scaling is not the only issue when it comes to resizing windows. For example, I have some apps that when their windows are exapanded, I don't want the fonts to increase, instead I want more screen space to show things. I might have a listview that shows say 10 records, and when I expand the window I want it show as many as can now fit on the screen - with no change in font size. -- cheers, Derek Parnell
