Property Sheet Display issues
-
I have a shipping piece of software, that uses property sheets for Tools/Options. For almost all my customers everything is perfect, but for just 2 or 3 the property sheets appear as though the dialog units are too large. The fonts, edit boxes, and all controls are about 1/3 too large, but with the same 0,0 origin. Even so, the containing dialog size is unchanged, so the result is that some of the controls on the right and bottom are either clipped or not visible at all. We only use property sheets in two places, and for customers with this problem, both instances are affected identically. This only happens with Property sheets, and not with normal dialogs. The resources are defined in the .rc file like:
DLG_PREF7 DIALOG 10, 91, 300, 179
STYLE DS_ABSALIGN | DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_3DLOOK | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Font"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
LTEXT "Fixed-width font",79,7,7,119,12,SS_CENTERIMAGE
COMBOBOX 80,131,7,126,300,CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP
LTEXT "Proportional font",87,7,25,119,12,SS_CENTERIMAGE
COMBOBOX 88,131,25,126,300,CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP
LTEXT "Font size",-1,7,43,119,12,SS_CENTERIMAGE
EDITTEXT 705,131,43,20,12,ES_RIGHT | ES_NUMBER | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP
ENDA picture would be worth a thousand words, but I can't post a picture. Imagine if you could have used ctrl/mouse-wheel to increase the size of the contents of just this dialog. I am stumped. Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening?

It seems to be a one of the property pages displayed in the property sheet. How do other pages look like (I mean in the resources)?
