1. Shortened text - win32lib large fonts problem?
I've noticed this in more than enough places by now to wonder.
Example: Judith's IDE, Configuration, Clicking Outside IDE Behaviour:
"another application" is guesswork; only the top 30% of this shows.
"... any stray windows le" is all I get to read on the next line.
Win98, 1024x768 Hicolor(16bit), Large Fonts (15" screen).
-- Excuse me a mo, I'll reboot to see what small fonts look like.
Yep, that's it. For info then, a lot of programs don't display
properly if large fonts are selected (right click on desktop
background, properties, settings, advanced, general).
Suppose I should invest in a 19" monitor...

The size of the monitor ? No !
The static sizes of win32lib controls do not dynamically change if you've
selected large fonts as your WIN default.
This is even worse for lists, which may attempt to resize, but aren't given
enuf room to expand, so they 'bleed' over the control below.
You'll have to blame this on the programmer

Hello,
Here is an example that will retrieve the font size currently set by the user.
hdc = GetDC(NULL) --Get DC for screen
iDPI = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, LOGPIXELSX)
ReleaseDC(NULL, hdc)
Also, take a look at my clock demo on the user-contrib page.
This shows an alternative to obtain the measurment that could
be used to set the XY axis of any control based on user set
font sizes. Be carefull 'cause this is a generalized routine.
poke4(pt,0) poke4(pt+4,0)
junk = c_func(xClientToScreen,{hwnd, pt})
x = peek4s(pt) y = peek4s(pt+4)
c_proc(GetWindowRect, {hwnd,rect})
x -= peek4s(rect_Left)
y -= peek4s(rect_Top)
Basic stuff !
