    <p>I'd like to use Segoe UI 9 pt on Vista, and Tahoma 8 pt on Windows XP/etc. (Actually, I'd settle for Segoe UI on both, but my users probably don't have it installed.) But, these being quite different, they really screw up the layout of my forms. So... is there a good way to deal with this?</p> <p>An example: I have a <code>Label</code>, with some blank space in the middle, into which I place a <code>NumericUpDown</code> control. If I use Segoe UI, the <code>NumericUpDown</code> is about 5 pixels or so to the left of the blank space, compared to when I use Tahoma. This is a pain; I'm not sure what to do here.</p> <p>So most specifically, my question would be: how can I place controls in the middle of a blank space in my <code>Label</code>s (or <code>CheckBox</code>es, etc.)? Most generally: is there a good way to handle varying fonts in Windows Forms?</p> <p><strong><em>Edit</em></strong>: I don't think people understood the question. I know how to <em>vary my fonts</em> based on OS. I just don't know how to <em>deal with the layout problems</em> that arise from doing so.</p> <p><strong><em>Reply to ajryan, quick_dry</em></strong>: OK, you guys understand the question. I guess MeasureString might work, although I'd be interested in further exploration of better ways to solve this problem.</p> <p>The problem with splitting the control is most apparent with, say, a <code>CheckBox</code>. There, if the user clicks on the "second half" of the CheckBox (which would be a separate <code>Label</code> control, I guess), the <code>CheckBox</code> doesn't change state.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
