    Changing screen resolution - combo box size grows larger/smaller

    Hey guys.
    I did some searching on this problem and it has been reported by some people before but I cant find a solution to the problem.

    The problem is that if the screen resolution is changed while Excel is open then my combo boxes grow larger or smaller (seems almost random) when I click on them.
    If I close Excel and re-open the file in the new resolution then everything works like normal.

    Has anyone ever found a solution for this problem?

    Maybe you get the same result 'refreshing the screen (F5).

    Otherwise:
    If you design a userform or ActiveX-control you can store the activeresolution somewhere.
    Later on you can compare that stored resolution with the actual resolution.
    The actual resolution you can get using:

    Now you can calculate a correctionfactor with which you can zoom in a userform, or adapt width and height of an ActiveX-control.
