You have a bug in your program. Unless you provide some proper detail information it is impossible to guess; we have no idea what your code is doing.

Use the best guess

hello Sir I know that I didn't Post any Code and asking for Ideas. am Sorry for that. But I found tht in Fn Onmeasureitem ,we are using drawText to get height of Text which is returning wrong [>1] in debug build and 1 in rlease build.

CWindowDC dc(NULL); // screen DC--I won't actually draw on it
CRect rcText(0,0,0,0);
CFont* pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(GetMenuFont());
dc.DrawText(pmd->text, rcText, DT_MYSTANDARD|DT_CALCRECT);
CSize size = dc.GetTextExtent(pmd->text);
dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);

	  // height of item is just height of a standard menu item
	  lpms->itemHeight= max(GetSystemMetrics(SM\_CYMENU), rcText.Height()+1);

	  // width is width of text plus a bunch of stuff
	  int cx = rcText.Width();   // text width 
	  cx += CXTEXTMARGIN<<1;     // L/R margin for readability
	  cx += CXGAP;               // space between button and menu text
	  cx += m\_szButton.cx<<1;    // button width (L=button; R=empty margin)

	  // whatever value I return in lpms->itemWidth, Windows will add the
	  // width of a menu checkmark, so I must subtract to defeat Windows. Argh.
	  //
	  cx -= GetSystemMetrics(SM\_CXMENUCHECK)-1;
	  lpms->itemWidth = cx;      // done deal

Now, Any Ideas. m compiling it on VS 2010. Regards Y

Sorry, no. I can only suggest you use your debugger to check all the parameters and their values as you step through the code to see if any one or more value(s) may be incorrect.
