Increasing font size of help text - visual-studio

If I hover the mouse over a .NET function in a C# file I get a popup window showing some documentation:
I'd like to increase the font size of this text.
There are many items in the Fonts and Colors section of the options:
Which of these can be used to increase this font size?
(This is one thing I like about vscode over VS; increasing the font size there with ctrl-+ applies to pretty much all text in the application. :-))

in XCode 12.2 how to increase the font size of the whole UI

Ignorant ways of XCode and its creators again come into place! :) Do you know how to change all fonts so text is larger? I managed only to increase text size in the left files menu, and the source code editor menu (source code text size can be done via Themes). How to change these other fonts here. Please see on the image. The green circles are how I would like all text size to be. The red ones, I really would like increased.

How to set font size to 16 in Xcode?

I know how to change font size in Xcode (REF) and I am using Xcode 8.3.2. There are options like 11/12/13/14/18... in the font window, but without 16. How can I make it?
Edit:
I tried to type 16 in the size text field directly, but won't help.
As Larme mentioned, the font panel has a text field for you to enter the font size. If entering the font size doesn't change the font size, there's a slider in the font panel. Use the slider to change the font size to sizes that don't appear in the font panel list, such as 15 and 16 points.

how to make a bitmap to fit to the static picture control of a property sheet?

I am having a property sheet and added three pages.In the first page I added a picture control and in the properties of that picture control for "Image" property I am setting a bitmap.And was able to load very successfully.But,the problem here I faced when I run my exe then I am getting bitmap on the page header(which is some kind of banner for the page.)But what I noticed is there is some gap between the banner bitmap and the frame edge (which is occurring at the right top corner). And when I ran my xxx.exe on a Japanese machine then I had observed like the sheet is somewhat stretched and banner bitmap is not stretched completely till the edge of the sheet (top right corner)for Instance if we take a dialog on load a bitmap on it then we can observe that it is entirely got stretched till the edge.
So how can we avoid this issue like whatever the operating system it is and whatever the resolution it might be that banner should get stretched till the edge of the sheet.The gap has to be removed.
I am not loading the bitmap dynamically (setting in the properties.)
Can anyone please help me ti achieve this
The reason you get different results on different systems is that dialogs and controls are sized using "dialog units" which are based on the average size of the font, rather than an absolute number of pixels.
By default a static image control will resize itself to the size of the bitmap it's displaying. So if the dialog itself ends up bigger than normal (because the font is physically bigger), the picture control will appear to have shrunk, leaving a gap.
You could try setting the SS_REALSIZECONTROL style on the static control. The normal behavior of the static control (when displaying a picture) is to resize itself to the size of the bitmap, however the SS_REALSIZECONTROL style overrides that behavior and instead causes the bitmap to be resized to the size of the control. However the results of that may be less than optimal (e.g. the aspect ratio will probably be wrong), so instead you may want to look into scaling the bitmap yourself.

why xcode console font is bigger than editor font

I know the font size in xcode can be set in Preference -> Fonts & Colors. But, even I set THE SAME font size for editor area and console area, the two areas show text with visually different size. The size 15 in console area is a little bigger than size 15 in editor area, but it's smaller than size 15.1. Seems the two area shows text with completely different mechanism (or engine?).
I try several other editors & browsers that can show mono fonts, find that Terminal and Sublime Text2 shows the same size as xcode editor area, while Firefox and svnX review area shows the same size as xcode console area. My question is:
How to make the editor area show text with exactly the same size as the console area? I like the console area font size.
Under Preferences > Fonts & Colors, you need to click the Console label (circled in the screenshot below).
I usually just select all the options listed and give them the same font size.

Resizing panels in GUIs without changing size of the contents (MATLAB)

Does anyone know how to change the size of a panel in the gui editor (guide) without changing the size of the contents? At the moment, if I change the size of the panel, I have to spend three times as long changing the size of the contents, and its a real pain.
Thanks
James
GUI components, such as buttons are only resized when you resize the GUI if their units are set to 'normalized'. Set the units to characters in the property inspector, and you should be fine (you can use the property inspector to edit multiple components at the same time).
To make the text inside a panel resize automatically, set the fontUnits property to 'normalized'.
