We have a Foxpro 2.6 application that we also compile in VFP 5.0. The main screen has a bitmap, some labels, and a set of command buttons on it. It is normally maximized. In the 32-bit executable, if the user is using 640x480 resolution and minimizes the main screen then restores it, the bitmap and the labels get clipped off. The window is 630x400 pixels, but it gets clipped to about 504x354 pixels. This cuts off part of the bitmap and some of the labels. The commands buttons are not usually affected, even though one of them lies partly outside of the 504x354 region.

The clipping does not happen at 800x600 resolution, nor does it happed at any resolution in the 16-bit executable.

What is causing this? How can we correct it?

Note that since this is FPW code running in VFP, the screen is not a form. It is a window (i.e. SPR file) and the bitmap and labels are displayed via @ ... SAY commands. This is the main screen is the sense that is it always behind the other application windows, and it has the fundamental READ command for the application.
