My application runs in systems that have different display modes, e.g
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768.  I developed the application with 800x600.
Some of the panels are too large to be completely displayed when in
640x480.  Does anyone know how I can dynamically alter the panels in
OnInitDialog to be compatible with the display mode?

Just use the MoveWindow() function to resize and/or move your window and
controls around the screen.  You have to make some kind of scheme to
calculate the size in percentage of all of your controls so you can resize
them appropriately when the windows sizes changes (also the font settings if
windows is using large or small fonts).

Hi bobofky,

      David Kruglinski's "Inside Visual C++" has a 'CPersistentFrame'
class that allows the user to size and position the frame regardless of
type
of display...works real well

Design them in 640x480... This is actually not as stupid as it sounds, as
you will get good looking dialogs in all resolutions. If your dialogs don't
fit in 640x480, they are probably too big anyway. Resizing the dialog is not
only a question of resizing the parent, but all childs as well, then you
will have to change the dialog box font, the dialog will look rotten and
your users will hate you.
