Dialog Box height problem

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Alan Henderson, Apr 22, 2004.

  1. I wrote some code for a company in LISP using DCL. My laptop is set to
    1024x768 to mimic the company using my software. All the dialog boxes were
    written with a maximum of "height=45". The dialog boxes were showing up fine
    on all 5 computers. Now all of a sudden, 2 of the computer are getting the
    "AutoCAD Message" - "Dialog too large to fit on screen"
    I had to decrease the dialog box "height=30" to make them work again on 2 of
    the 5 computers, although they still work on my computer at "height=45" and
    the other 3 computers.

    Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Their resolution is too low on the monitor.

    Yes. That happens when I design a DCL file (1600x1200 on my machine), and
    someone with a lower resolution (1280x1024 on their monitor) runs the
    routine. We have custom made block slide libraries that I create with larger
    sized dialogs for details that are more involved. So on some of the machines
    that get this message, I keep lowering the size of the DCL file until it
    comes up.

  4. I am using a Dell Latitude and they are all using different graphic cards
    and different size and brand monitors.

    But, their resolution is set to 1024x768 which is the same as my resolution
    1024 x 768.

    I thought that so long as the resolution was the same, then the dialog boxes
    would be viewed as the same size regardless of the graphic card and monitor.
