A1: Bad idea. That pixel size may be different depending on user
configuration, and it may be different still in each subsequent windows
version up to and including Windows 3012. Better idea: Check
GetSystemMetrics in your windows documentation, if you really need it (see
below).

client area in the formcreate event based on the difference between the
runtime size of the caption bar and the designtime size of the caption
bar, or B) to leave extra room on Win2K forms ?
|
A2: I've been setting ClientWidth and ClientHeight in FormShow, not in
FormCreate, for years. I seem to remember that this was better for some
reason.
