RE: Re: Bug in GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) for WM 5.0 OS?

I concur... The Dell WM5 implementation IS returning only 23 for SM_CYMENU.
(But under WM2003SE, it is correct as "ppcinfo" has already reported)

Looks like I need to do something similar as mentioned below.  Can anybody
with a different VGA device other than Dell check to see what value is
returned.

Thanks,

Kevin

OS?


For the menu bar window that I create I use a GetClientRect() call to get
the window height. I also have to add 2 or 4 pixels to that value depending
on it it is a QVGA or VGA device.
