Here's the answer from the MI Knowledge Base:
http://testdrive.mapinfo.com/techsupp/miprod.nsf/kbase_by_product/8A613772C77080D285256AA4006BFA62
"Width: {horizontal size in pixels} = {horizontal size in dialog units} * 1.5 +
6 (rounded to nearest integer -- .5 rounds up)
Height: {vertical size in pixels} = {vertical size in dialog units} * 1.625 + 6
This last formula does not include the title bar of the dialog, which may
change in height if Large or Extra Large fonts are used. The "+ 6" does take
into account the standard-width border around the edge of the dialog, however."
You call the API GetDEviceCaps() to findn out the size of the screen in pixels.
