I have an VB.NET 2005 application where a form is displayed in dialog format when the user clicks a hyperlink. The form consists of a textbox with two command buttons below it.

On most machines the box appears normally. However on some computers the two command buttons are missing when the form is displayed. How can I fix this so that the buttons will display on all machines?

My resize event looks like this:

        Dim x As Short = Me.Width

        btnOK.Left = x - 267
        btnOK.Top = Me.Height - 98
        btnCancel.Left = x - 173
        btnCancel.Top = Me.Height - 98

Thanks for any help.

I think some research is going to be required. If it were me, I would add code to cause the form to report the locations of the buttons into a "log" file, and so oif you can find that the buttons have a negative location. If so, you can start to ttrack it down.

Report into the "log" all metrics: Me.Height, Me.Width, btnOK.Left, btnOK.Top, btnCancel.Left & btnCancel.Top.

If you discover the problem, please come back here and tell us what it was.

I found that if I used the Anchor property it would solve the problem. I changed the left button to Bottom, Left and the right button to Bottom, Right.
