This is Gambas 2, a very old project of mine and yet a program that runs continuously on my desktop. Last week, I got a new monitor with a wider resolution, and now there is something going wrong.

The program shows an overview of the rooms in the school with LTSP terminals, which one is switched on and where someone has logged in.

When I programmed it, I used some frames to have an optical marking for the rooms. Then I used labels to display the numbers of the terminals and colors for their status.

The form is fixed. The frames are of a fixed size. All sizes are in pixels, aren't they? Then I define the labels, for instance like this:

  FOR i = 0 TO 26
    ll = NEW Label(Form1)
    lbl.Add(ll)
    lbl[i].Text = CStr(i)
    lbl[i].BackColor = color.White
    lbl[i].Width = 40
    lbl[i].Height = 20
    lbl[i].Alignment = align.Center
    lbl[i].Font.Size = 11
    lbl[i].Font.Bold = TRUE
    SELECT CASE i
    CASE 0
      lbl[i].Visible = FALSE
    CASE 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13
      lbl[i].X = 160
      lbl[i].Y = 20 + (i * 14)
    CASE 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14
      lbl[i].X = 220
      lbl[i].Y = 20 + ((i - 1) * 14)
    CASE 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25
      lbl[i].X = 10
      lbl[i].Y = 15 + ((i - 13) * 15)
    CASE 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26
      lbl[i].X = 70
      lbl[i].Y = 15 + ((i - 14) * 15)
    END SELECT
  NEXT

So all positions should be fixed. But with the higher screen resolution, the labels land on wrong positions. The frames appear as if they were slightly wider and higher now, and the labels land too much on the left and too high. Before, I had 1280x1024, now it's 1600x1200.

Any explanation for this? I try to add a screenshot, hope the mailer doesn't reject it.

Regards

Rolf
