</head><BODY ><div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">I have an ooDialog application that I have tested on different systems and</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">have found an operational difference that I don't understand.  I have </SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">several LTEXT controls and some LISTBOX controls built into a RC file.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">I use the LTEXT to build column headings for the detail data that is placed</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">in the LISTBOX and the LTEXT static to use "Courier New", 10, "BOLD" and</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">the LISTBOX to use "Courier New", 10.  When running on an XP system,</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">the LTEXT and LISTBOX both "fit" into the main dialog window, but when</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">on a Win7 system (either 32 or 64 bit), the static text and also the text</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">data added to the LISTBOX exceed the width of the containing element.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">I then added getTextSizePx calls for the text that is in each of a sample</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">of the static text and the listbox.  On the Win7 system, the sample for</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">the static text was a width of 80 while on the XP it is 64 and the listbox</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">item is 620 for the width on the Win7 system while it is 496 on the XP.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">That equates to the XP being less pixels by 4/5 of the Win7, yet the</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">main dialog appears to be the same size.  </SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">What I am trying to accomplish is to have a columnized set of data,</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">but have not included the headings inside the listbox due to having</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">to sort the details outside the listbox if that were done.  Am I missing</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:12pt;">something in order to get similar results on either system?<br /><br />--<br />  Art Heimsoth - art...@ar...</SPAN></div>
