I guess this is a form. Form elements depends on font size. So, if different machines have different fonts then form element will be clipped.<br />
It is better to use WinAPI bitmap functions to draw images (with clipping problems)<br />

</div>


<div>
they appear to be running at different resolutions i.e. 800x600 vs 1024x768
</div>


<div>
my observation is based on the different sizing of the images.
</div>


<div>
I changed the resolutions but it didnt work. &nbsp;The parts that get cutoff are not fonts, but are rather images.
</div>

&gt;The parts that get cutoff are not fonts, but are rather images<br />
yes I know, but the container element has been downsized in another machine. Could be 2 problems: font-size (the unit of measure) is different, or resolution is different. So, as I told you, it is better to draw bitmaps directly with WinAPI: BitBlt or StretchBlt, could be a bit messy but works fine and faster.<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
How can I do this? I am not familiar with API at all
</div>


<div>
Doesn't Windows provide Hebrew language support? I know this doesn't really answer your question, but why use images for your Hebrew writing rather than just install and use Hebrew language support and fonts? Or am I misremembering and Windows does not support Hebrew?
</div>


<div>
It would take too long to install it on 30 computers... any also you can see the other images are cut off too so it doesnt matter because once i can fix one i can fix all i believe
</div>


<div>
Instead of using the form background, try an image box or a picture box.<br />
With an image box, you can easily change the size...<br />
It should work just fine.<br />
<br />
If did not work, go with BitBlt<br />
<br />
As well, I think your picture has a very low resolution.<br />
I suggest you re-create your image with a higher resolution or if you don't know how, then keep in mind, &nbsp; &nbsp;bigger size=higher resolution
</div>


<div>
WHY IS NOONE ANSWERING MY QUESTION? I ASKED HOW DO I DO IT AND YOU JUST TELL ME USE BitBLT.
</div>


<div>
To resize try this: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (0.5 is any number you want, &nbsp; &nbsp;0.5=half)<br />
Example:<br />
Picture1.PaintPicture Picture1.Image, 0, 0, 0.5* Picture1.Width, 0.5*Picture1.Height, Picture1.Left, Picture1.Top, Picture1.Width, Picture1.Height<br />

<br />
Sincerely, I once wanted to do complecated things with BitBlt...I think it is messy for your purpose and does not make any difference in your case !<br />
<br />
You should understand the fact that if you try to make your picture bigger than its original size, no matter what you do, you never get a good quality !<br />
<br />
Anyway, in order to use BitBlt, you need some libs in a module such as:<br />
<br />
Private Declare Function BitBlt Lib &quot;gdi32&quot; (ByVal hDestDC As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal hSrcDC As Long, ByVal xSrc As Long, ByVal ySrc As Long, ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long<br />
<br />
Private Declare Function CreateCompatibleDC Lib &quot;gdi32&quot; (ByVal hdc As Long) As Long
</div>


<div>
:( the first thing doesnt work and this still confuses me... can i send you the whole source and you can do it manually? If you fix it you get all the points.
</div>


<div>
If you send me the hole thing, I do my best to fix it.<br />
My whole purpose is helping you.
</div>


<div>
I guess I know what the problem is, but why did you send me an exe file ?<br />
Do you think I can change your exe file??? Nooooooooooooooooo<br />
If you send me your vb code (or better vb project) I'll fix that.<br />
By the way, you should put an exit button on your application !!!<br />
<br />
Send me you code or I won't be able to help.
</div>


<div>
o oops i thought that was the project... my bad 1 sec
</div>


<div>
As I open or run your project, I get errors because the pictures are missing.<br />
To improve your program there are many things you should do. You don't need this many forms ? Man, I'm shocked. You should use one form and one timer and one...of everything. All your forms are the same !<br />
I'm sure you are not deep in programming. You should try not to use any any any Global variable. It's dangerous.<br />
Send me your pictures, I redesign the whole thing and send you my sample.<br />
You better load the pictures when the program is running. One advantage of that is that you can always replace or add more picures to extend your program. I'm glad you used an array of pictures. That's right.<br />
By the way did you know that pictureBox has a autosize property that you could set it to true ?!!<br />
Try it.
</div>


<div>
the problem is, it will have overlap with that... i am looking for something that can maybe force the image into a particular size
</div>


<div>
my code fits your picture in the pictureBox properly.<br />
Do you want to shrink the picture as well ?<br />
I can help you with that, but shirinking, disfigures your pictures<br />
meaning that if one of your pictures has a much longer hight than its width (or the other way) your picture will be streched and will seem fater ot taller !<br />
Anyway, if you want that let me know.<br />
<br />
By the way, some programmers talked about using a hebrew font...<br />
I'm sure you can do that. You just need to &quot;install&quot; a Hebrew font (you may download it).<br />
It's not difficult, just copy your font to \WINDOWS\Fonts<br />
<br />
If you want to do it on several computers, I still think it is worth it. You can even make your software in a way to automattically do the installation...
</div>


<div>
thats true, but I'm lazy and that works =D

As you can see, in the JPG file a lot of the images cut off (the hebrew writing is an image). &nbsp;Can somebody please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix this (or if you only have the solution it will be enough)<br />

Different computers, different appearences?! VB6

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
