Differences in listbox between Windows XP and Windows 7
Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2010 02:16 PM

Hello,

I noticed a big difference in the fonts of a listbox between Windows XP and Windows 7

This is how a Windows XP listbox looks like : http://www.ma-consult.be/winxp.jpg (please download).

This is how the same listbox looks in Windows 7 : http://www.ma-consult.be/win7.jpg (please download).

In Windows 7, the font is smaller, although I use the same font defined by my application.

What can I do to make both listboxes look similar ?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Regards,

Michel,

You could use FWH function IsWin7() to detect if your application is running on Win7 and then create a larger font for it.
