Not sure, without looking at code, why your dialog is sizing like that, but
you could try using this library (I use for a couple of applications) or
some other sort of layout manager.

Looks like Codeproject.com is down right now, but I think this is the link:

Hi,

I am working on a dialog-based MFC application. I am trying to launch a
resizeable modal dialog from the main dialog. In the dialog editor
properties
I have set the Border field to Resizing. Most of the other properties are
set
to their default values. The Style property is set to Popup. This works
fine
if I use a debug build of the executable. But when I use the Release build
the dialog box length extends beyond the screen. The release build also
works
fine if I change the border type to Dialog Frame.

I am using Visual Studio 2003 on Windows 2003 and I have seen this problem
on Windows 2003 and Vista.

Is there anything else I need to do to get the resizeable dialog displayed
properly? I have added handlers for ON_WM_SIZE() and ON_WM_GETMINMAXINFO()
and I have tried disabling all other code in the OnInitDialog() function
except for a call to CDialog:OnInitDialog().

Do let me know if you need more information about my development or test
setup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Priya
