The dimensions of the controls should be changed so that they will be big enough to contain the text for every individual language. Therefore: - Dimensions of controls are based on sysres_En.rc. Other languages should change these dimensions in order to make the text fit. I (krynos@qbc.clic.net) will try to make sysres_Fr.rc fit correctly, if someone is interrested in others languages, message me. I may correct others languages after, but not soon. Here are structure of each line (for example): PUSHBUTTON "&Help", 1038, 174, 75, 50, 14, WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP 1038: The ID of this button, you shouldn't change this. 174 : X-offset of the button with respect to the upper-left corner of the dialog box. 75 : Y-offset 50 : The width of the button 14 : The height flags (WS_??? etc): They control how the dialog behaves. Things like: changing the focus with a TAB, scrolling to a list of radiobuttons with up/down keys, etc. If you're not sure: leave them as they are (in the english version).

Because this old resource was insufficient I wrote a new one (including some new static contols). Please delete the old CHOOSECOLOR in YOUR sysres_??.rc and insert the new CHOOSECOLOR from sysres_En.rc to YOUR language file and translate this as you like it - otherwise you'll get an undefined behavour. Today it works well for: * English * German * French ...to be continued...... Thank you. Albrecht Kleine kleine@ak.sax.de
