WIN7 VS WIN 10 & 11

[Petrus Vorster]

Hi All

I still have to struggle with WIN7(64 bit) at work.
At home we have Win10 & 11 on laptops.

Paul helped me with a tool to print barcode labels a while ago.
On Windows 10, connecting a Datamax O'Neil E-class Label printer works just fine.
Everything aligns properly, label software runs great.

If I run that same program at work on Windows 7 everything goes nuts.

My listview control gives mis-aligned or garbage caracters on the left of the control.
The printer labels does scan, but they are terribly mis-aligned.
Same settings, same printer.

None of that happens on Windows 10.

I am a bit out of ideas why there would be a diffrence on the two Operating systems.

Regards, Peter

OK, it turns out you need to run the program in WINDOWS 7 compatability mode.

Then the information in the Listview shows correctly.
Getting these Datamax things properly running on USB on Win7 is complicated.
Then it works, then it doesnt.
