    Posted: 16 December 2009 at 4:41am
I want to increase the font size of my controls to help the visually impaired, but some controls have problems with that.


The TabControl does not increase the height of its buttons, i.e. the text is capped at the top and the bottom. If I increase the margins the buttons are higher, but still the font is capped on all but the selected tab.


When I increase the font of the DatePicker which btw. can only be done using the metrics event, the cells don't resize themselves and there's no way to manually increase the size of the cells.


How can I circumvent these problems?

Hi,
 
Just tried
    TabControl.PaintManager.Font.Size = 20
    TabControl.SelectedItem = 2

in our SuteControls sample - work perfect for TabControl.

Thank you very much! I just tried TabControl.Font.Size, which didn't work.

What about the DatePicker control?

Does that mean, it currently does not have it or will this feature never be available?
