I've noticed that it is possible to see the size of a dialog window in the status bar, far to the right when working in VC++ 6.

I want a main dialog window to be 640x480. The problem is that when i set this size then it takes up far more than a quarter of my screen (which is set to 1280x1024). When I create a popup dialog and set its size to 640x480 it looks right on my screen and it is a lot smaller than the main dialog, which should be the same size.

What can be done to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help!
