Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Small/mini control size fix

[Ralph T. <ra...@gm...>]

I'm sorry that I don't know more about this problem on Mac (I know all
about it on Windows ;-)).

So, is the problem that you can't get widget metrics from
GetThemeMetric for small controls? Because I think that you can use
the HITheme* APIs to get the sizes of small and mini controls. There's
more information here:
http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Carbon/HIToolbox.html , but
the real information is in the Carbon headers.

Thanks!
 Ralph
