Dear All,

I have created a win app which runs in my monitor with no problem. But when the program installed in a computer with 1920x1080 resolution, the forms height is cut off and the "ok", "Cancel" buttons are not showing.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Biswajit Ghosh

Are OK and Cancel button will be shown if you change screen resolution?

Make the Form smaller. :-)

If the link Henry supplied makes your form look weird (and it just might because of the nature of floating point calculations when changing the font size based on a calculated ratio), you're going to have to change the font size on all of your forms.

BTW, what font (and size) are you using, and how big is your screen? If your font size if 8-10 point, and your form spills off the edge of your screen, maybe you should refactor your form so that it has fewer controls on it (consider using a TabControl).

This question has been asked and answered so many times over the years.

Your best source for a solution is a search engine.

Using c# resolution independent forms found half a million results.

This[^], is just one of them.
