    I have an app with several dialogs, that I have disabled the controlbox. Works fine on my development machine. However when I installed at a customer site, I found that the dialogs did not show properly - the lower 25% of the dialogs were 'cut off'. I checked the screen resolution, all machines have XP. All the other windows show fine, just the ones without the controlbox are the problem.

      Hi, Perhaps you are facing the same problem I once encountered, when part of the controls on my form just fell outside the edge of the form on a certain PC, but not on any other. On the problem PC, please check: Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > General > Display > DPI Setting. In my case this was set to larger than Normal size (96 DPI). If this is the case for you too, just set it back to normal, and try your app. Good luck, Johan

      My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

        I discovered a common thread in the two windows that had probelms: I set controlbox to false. Once I set the controlbox to true, the entire window was visible! Thanks for the input.
