mdi form xp scroll bars

[johnnyv]

Hello I have created a program that uses an mdiform to load 9 child forms. I have sized all forms to fit into the mdiform without a need for scroll bars. When the app runs on all oprating systems except XP all is fine but the same app running on XP will cause scroll bars to appear in the MDI form. Any idea why this is?

The forms are a tad bigger in XP. Write a resize event after detecting the os with the sysinfo control...

thanks for the reply, when the say the forms are a bit bigger do you mean that the standard forms are bigger or that both the standard forms and mdiform are bigger?

Thanks

The title bar is actually bigger by about 150 twips (on my dev machine). So any form with a title bar will need to be resized.

Sorry, I am talking about the height property.

The pretty graphics on the outer edge of the form make the entire form about 30 twips bigger.
