MFC Window paint

Hello,

We're relatively new to Windows Embedded and we were under the impression
that it was really a customizable Windows XP. Maybe we're doing something
wrong and some component is missing, but when running an application (MFC),
which runs perfectly under Windows XP, on a Windows XP Embedded machine, most
windows aren't painted correctly. It's as if the screen area was
miscalculated and the painted controls (labels, textboxes, etc) sizes are
completely wrong and some even missing. I suppose that the missing controls
are being positioned outside the visible screen area.

Can anyone help me with the X File? I tried Scully but I got an out of
office reply

Sounds like it might be a font issue. We haven't had any problems with
MFC in particular, but a lot of apps did look the way you are
describing until we figured out how to get the correct fonts and
codepages on our image.

Also, I was able to 'fix' one app by opening up the dialogs in the
resource editor and making sure that 'Use System Font' was set to true
in the dialog properties.

That was a bullseye. Scully is out of business

That solved our problem.

Thanks very much for your reply
