Very Computer

the dialog width and height in pixels will depend on the dialog font and the
dialog template size.
look at MapDialogRect() to convert between template sizes and pixels.

Hi,
  I am working on a GUI based product using VC++ 6.0 WINDOWS 95/98  and
I have this strange

problem.I have created a dialog in the resource.But
GetWindowPlacement(..) seems to return 2

different heights on 2 different machines.

This is a piece of code

 .....
.....
...
    RECT rect;
     CDialog  dialog;
     dialog.Create(IDD_MY_DIALOG,this);
     dialog.GetWindowRect(&rect);
     height = rect.bottom-rect.top;    
.......    
...
.....
On most of the machines it returns the same height but the machine
having WINDOWS 98 second edition is an exception.
  I am largely dependent on this height to remain the same on all sorts
of machine. height

seems to differ on some of the machines . How can I handle this
situation. Any help will be appreciated.

TIA
Rohith.

Control Panel - Display - Settings - Font Size - should be set to Small
Fonts

Hi, Rohith.

Check the API GetSystemMetrics(),
in particular, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCAPTION), returns
the height of the window caption, which can be changed in
Display Properties->Appearence, so it can be vary in different machines.
Also SM_CYSIZEFRAME or something similar should be considered.

Hope this helps.
