Unsupported properties for controls in Windows Forms

Table 11-8 is an alphabetical listing of unsupported properties, the controls on which they are not supported, and any notes that apply to specific controls. If your application uses these properties, rework it to avoid their use.

FaceName property If you use a bitmap (screen) font such as MS Sans Serif instead of a TrueType font for the FaceName property, make sure you select a predefined font size from the TextSize drop-down list. PowerBuilder and .NET use different functions (CreateFontDirect and GdipCreateFont) to render bitmap fonts and they may display larger in the .NET application than in the development environment or a standard PowerBuilder application. For example, text that uses the MS Sans Serif type face and the undefined text size 16 looks the same as size 14 in PowerBuilder, but looks larger in .NET.

Tab properties The RaggedRight property for a Tab control works correctly if the sum of the widths of all the tab pages is greater that the width of the Tab control, and the MultiLine property is set to true.

The BackColor and TabTextColor properties for a tab page in a Tab control are not supported if the XP style is used.
