Purpose

Change the size of a dialog to a specific client area size.

Syntax

DIALOG SET CLIENT hDlg, x&, y&

Remarks

hDlg refers to the handle of the dialog to change. x& and y& specify the new width and height of the dialog client area. x& and y& are specified in dialog units or pixels, depending upon the system used when the dialog was created.

The dialog client size may be smaller than total size, depending on the type of borders used. The client area is the part below the dialog caption, and an eventual menu, where controls can be placed.
