Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows XP
Progress 9.1x
SYMPTOM(s):
GUI difference between Windows XP and other Windows platforms
Buttons or other objects have moved
Dialog box caption size is larger
Windows XP distorts Dialog Boxes and Windows in applications
Applications appears fine under old versions of Windows.
CHANGE:
Upgrade of Windows version to Windows XP
CAUSE:
On Windows XP, problems with the sizing of Dialog Boxes and display windows occur if the Display Properties, Theme is not set to "Windows Classic".
This occurs on Microsoft XP platforms because the caption size is larger than the caption size on other Windows platforms. As a result, the offset for buttons or various other GUI controls is off by the delta between the two caption sizes.
FIX:
To resolve this issue either modify the window size, or move the GUI controls away from the edge of the window. In either case a recompile is necessary in order for the changes to take effect.
