Unsupported Properties for Controls in Windows Forms
If your
application uses unsupported properties for Windows Forms targets, you must rework the application before you deploy it.
This table is an alphabetical
listing of unsupported properties. It also indicates the controls on which they are
not supported, and any notes that apply to specific controls.

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.
However, when the PerpendicularText property is true, RaggedRight
is not supported.
While the TabPosition property value is tabsonleft! or tabsonright!,
and there is not enough room for all the tabs in a single row, the
tabs appear in more than one row, regardless of the Multiline property
setting. If you then dynamically set Multiline to true, the tabs
display on top of the Tab control, regardless of the TabPosition
setting.
Dual position display is not supported by the .NET Tab control (System.Windows.Forms.TabControl),
so the TabPosition value tabsontopandbottom! displays tabs on top
only. The tabsonrightandleft! value displays tabs only on the right,
and the tabsonleftandright! value displays tabs only on the left.
The BackColor and TabTextColor properties for a tab page in
a Tab control are not supported if the XP style is used.
