I suspect might be the dialog units thing: Bruce's suggestion I use them. Added this to docs whenever term in mentioned: does it seem to match what's happening for you? I suppose I can have some option to either override, or a service to get DUs from pixels. 11.10 Dialog Units: control and dialog postions and sizes required in: define, define_control <X>, <Y>, <width> and <height> parameters aren't in pixels; they are in dialog units, which are based on the size of the font used by the system (and chosen by the user). If you have a large font selected, the dialog will be large, if you use a smaller font, the dialog will be that much smaller. This is important as it makes sure that all of the controls are the proper size to display their text in the current font. These measurements are device independent, so an application can use a single template to create the same dialog box for all types of display devices. This ensures that a dialog box will have the same proportions and appearance on all screens despite differing resolutions and aspect ratios between screens. One horizontal dialog unit is equal to one-fourth of the average character width for the system font. One vertical dialog unit is equal to one-eighth of the average character height for the system font. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
