    I'm encountering a frustrating problem with my child windows. When the size of my Windows forms are 712w, 480h, all the controls contained in the forms are displayed correctly in Windows 2000. However, looking at these forms in Windows XP yields a different result. In Windows XP the controls (buttons) located at the bottom of the form are cut off. I have to resize the form to 712w, 490h for it to display correctly in Windows XP. Is there a difference in how the forms are measured between each operating system? Does this mean that I will have to detect which O/S my application is running on and adjust the form's height accordingly? The only difference I can see between the two O/S's is the hieght of their caption bar. XP's is taller because it implements that "bubble" style. However, I don't believe that the caption bar is included in the forms height value. Can anyone provide me with some insight into this issue. Thanks, Andrew
