You also need to test THOROUGHLY if you do this. I played with a heap of
the dialog boxes a while ago and everything seemed fine. Then next time
I used Save As PDF, frame crashed. Sigh.

I noted previously that most FM dialogs have both static and dynamic
controls. If you resize the dialog box and move around the static
controls, you risk damaging the dynamic behavior.
Developers define static controls in "resource files" which get
compiled
into executables or DLLs. Developers generate dynamic controls as the
program is running, by issuing Windows API calls. If you modify the
static controls or the dialog box containing them, you may end up
putting a static control at the same place a dynamic control is
supposed
to appear.

Make a backup copy of fmdlg.dll before you start hacking (but you knew
this anyway, right?). I tried to do this just a week ago with FM 7.2
but
FM complained when booting, then died. I don't know if the fmdlg.dll
file
has somehow changed. Mind you, I changed the relative positions of
some
of the buttons, etc. as well as generally enlarging the dialogue, so
perhaps that was it. Has anybody successfully hacked FM 7.2
dialogues?
s and info.
