options I set the form height to show all the contorls that are below the
check box. If they don't check the box the lower part of the form is
hidden. This works fine, however the problem I'm having is that the height
property includes the form title bar. So if they have there Windows Font
option on extra large the height needs to be different than if they have it
on normal font. Is there a way in VB to tell what Windows default font they
have or is there some other work around to make this work?
