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

[Sean P. <sp...@ad...>]

I'm not sure this helps much if at all -

The "fudge" factors still need to be applied for the most part to the 
outset. I think GetThemeMetric is most likely what GetBestControlRect 
calls so I doubt it saves you much. My recommendation would be to stop 
trying to share so much of the code, each widget is going to have to do 
some calculations and fundging - the hard coded values need to be made 
external, but otherwise just do the best you can. Go for a simple 
solution - not a clever one.
