Topic: size in pixels of a dialog control

[efernal]

I know that there is a system var that returns the size in pixels of a dialog control (dcl)
I forgot it's name...
Does anybody knows?

Must say thats new to me ..

No size that I know of but done_dialog returns:

A two-dimensional point list that is the (X,Y) location of the dialog box when the user exited it.

second thought ..
The only time I've seen the size is if I try to make a dialog too BIG and I get an ACAD message and an error file .. sound familiar .. ?

.. but that was before ODCL

Kerry,

What exactly is object ODCL? I've heard it mentioned quite a bit here, and you seem to like the way it operates.
Could you enlighten me?

Thanks,
