use the resource editor guide lines and define a set of house rules about alignments and control positioning. You could also have a look at the User Experience Guidelines. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e49820cb-954d-45ae-9cb3-1b9e8ea7fe8c[^]
Watched code never compiles.

To make sure if the controls are aligned correctly, you can take a snapshot, paste in MS Paint, draw a line, zoom and check the pixels. Here you may get an idea on designing Dialogs: Layout and Visual Alignment [^] Also have a look at here: Controls Designs on Forms and Dialog Boxes[^]

If you really like to work, and like spending your customers cash, that may be a good alternative to simply use the alignment tools in the Format | Align sub-menu in the resource editor.
