Listview IDE /Compiled different display

[jaywalker]

Wrote a little display program to show a listview box sized for 36 items and a
a grid of 36 image boxes beside it on the form. When I run from the IDE works
perfect - when I run it compiled the listbox displays about 40 items - everything
else is identical - form size list box size font size etc. Only thing that has changed is the size of the list box grid. Any idea what might cause this and how I might correct it?

Does the same thing happen without the image boxes?

I tried running a small listview demo from the code library and it displays 8 items when run from the IDE and
nine items when run compiled. So I am assuming for the moment that this behavior has nothing to do with
any local interaction with my code or the other elements in my program display. I am running this program
on Vista - will have to check and see if I get the same behavior on XP. In any case, thanks for the question -
it got me thinking of the broader context outside my code rather than trying to ferret out internal interactions.

Ran the listview demo under XP - there was a subtle difference in the size of the listbox title display - compiled
version title box is about one pixel shorter in height than the one produced with the IDE. The number of list items
displayed is identical for the compiled and IDE run displays. Will assume provisionally that the problem is Vista
specific. What can I do to bring the IDE/Compiled versions into sync?

[jaywalker]

Problem solved sort of. Setting program to run in XP compatibility mode under Vista brings the IDE/Compiled
display disparity back into sync. Setting "Disable display scaling for high DPI settings" does the same thing.
Apparently the same can be achieved by modifying registry settings - or appropriate API call - but this seems
like overkill for a simple single user program - won't bother to go this route.

Thanks again to dragonjim for the question that got me researching in the right direction.

Glad to be able to help.
