Max. no. of characters in a message box line is less in Vista when compared with XP
Hi,
I have noticed in Vista, the maximum no. of characters which could be displayed in a messagebox line is 85 characters where in XP it was 131 characters. Following is a summary when compared this with OSes, OS - Max. no. of characters per messagebox line. XP - 131 Vista, Windows 7 - 85 Windows2008 Server x32 and x64 - 81 Following is a code in VB to run in Vista simulate the problem which spans into 3 lines, where it was expected in 2 lines. MsgBox ("**Maximum number of characters per messagebox line in Windows Vista is 85 characters.**"+CHR(13)+CHR(10)+"Expected 2nd line") How could this display message alignment problem be fixed? Is there a setting Vista and higher which preserves the messagebox functionality of XP? Please could someone advice. |
