On Windows, the border and titlebar metrics are completely up to the user. Any attempt at making perfectly-aligned windows without using the appropriate registry settings risks guessing wrong, as the user may not be using the defaults. These settings are settable in the Display control panel, accessible by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing "Properties..." from the context menu (and also by choosing Start->Settings->Control Panels->Display). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.1: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
