... not done any work with resizing, but it seems to me that you need to work with percentages not pixels (or in the case of dialogs, "dialog units"). So, I would be multiplying each control's height and width by a factor. Then you can make them different sizes by just passing a factor ...

Manuel,

Biel, Cuando se crean los controles, justo despues del DEFINE DIALOG y antes del ACTIVATE DIALOG, estamos usando "dialogs units" y no pixeles. Desde la claúsula ON INIT, se estan usando pixeles. Esta es una diferencia propia del API de Windows, que en su dia se pudo haber corregido, ...

You can convert from units to pixels and viceversa, so I don't see any limitation

The problem is that the pixels coordinates have to be rounded after the conversion.

Antonio,

I think it's not possible to use a bitmap when the grid dots have to be aligned to dialog units and not pixels, am I wrong?

Antonio,

Yes, I would agree that you can't break existing code.

The only solution I can see is to create a global setting to really use pixels instead of dialog units. But, I doubt there is much demand for this so I would place a very low priority on it.

James,

When the PIXEL clause was implemented in FWH we were not aware that on dialogs, controls use dialog units instead of pixels

By the time that we noticed it (and really understood it), there were already many FWH code around, so we decided to keep it as it was

OK, I solved the mystery. Dialogs have different units than windows, panels, etc. The controls are placed properly on windows (I didn't check panels yet). So, it does seem to be a bug--controls are not placed properly on dialogs when using the PIXEL ...
