I create a control, then use it in my VI. On my computer it has a normal size. When I open it on other computer, it changes the size, and then on my computer it has the bad size to (The size grows up).

Do you have the front panel on you program resize to fit the screen?

[Manushak]

No, I  haven't  resize to fit the screen.

[Akiel]

Try to:

- show boolean text

- use a specific font for the boolean text (e.g. Tahoma, but NOT system, application or dialog font)

- hide boolean text

- save the .ctl

In my experience it's the text boxes causing an object to resize on different systems since the application/system/dialog fonts are different.

Along these lines.... If you open your control in the advaced customize window you will see that your label is not with the rest of the button. See if moving that inside the button helps:
