c# - What to do with a winforms app that looks poor with medium/large fonts enabled on windows 7? -

-

i have windows forms app built .net 3.5 , relatively old version of infragistics controls. turns out of forms/controls quite poor when viewed in windows7 , medium or large fonts. options resolve this? have tens of forms , short-term solution rather rewrite, app migrated wpf or silverlight in medium term.

is there switch can 'turn off' medium/large fonts app immediate fix?

what general principles need followed winforms apps render nicely medium/large fonts turned on?

so far main things i've found needed are:

  • change forms/controls autoscalemode set font

  • change forms programmatic resizing they're dependent on other controls' size or position, rather hard-coded numbers right if fonts set normal size.

other things work desired. mostly. still odd odd thing track down.
