[DUG] status bar not bottoming on high resolution

[Rohit Gupta]

Paul,

I recall that when I was writing the code to save/restore splitter 
properties, I found that the order had to be differetn based on teh 
alignment of the splitter..

Hi all

Have not completely exhausted tracking this problem, but thought 
there might be a quick answer out there.
When total form height goes from 738 to 739 pixels my status bar 
no longer sits on the bottom of the form but goes above a 
pagecontrol which has alignment alBottom. Naturally, this looks 
bizarre. Because there is splitter, the status bar can then happily be 
resized! 738 is only 30 off 768, which may be significant? This 
problem appears when I close the app which saves the form size in 
an ini. I then start it again, when it is positioned and sized the same 
as it was last time. It may be a timing thing to do with the order of 
component creation, but why would it only be daft when the form 
height is greater than that particular height boundary?

D5 standard. Same problem on win2000 and XP. Screen res 1280 
X 1028. Problem occurs when running alone and within the IDE.

Thanks
Paul
