how on earth can a listbox with a width of 200px and textbox with a width of
200px NOT display as the same size on screen? I am having a horrible time
trying to get my forms looking nice using VS 2005. I already gave up on the
design view and am now using only source view but even with all the
uncessarry stuff removed my objects are not looking as they should. I
literally have controls all with the same width in pixes specified and they
appear as different widths on screen. ??????

Yep, first time I dropped a button on a panel it stretched all the way
across the panel. That was the 2nd thing I put on my new page. The first
thing was the panel. Was a foreteller of things to come.

I have found, especially with grids, that if there is more data in a column
than will fit the grid resizes the column to make it fit irregardless of
what you put in for the width. Combinations of turning on "wrap" and/or
adding horizontal scroll bars can make the column width or panel size
stickto what you want.. Then, just when you think you got it under control,
you bringup firefox and find the layouts are different than IE and things
are out of kilter.
