If I design an app with guiloft, and then run it, quite often I have to

Has anyone else come across this ?
That might depend on what kind of window you created. A Dialog box is
slightly smaller than a Window I think (for the same size in the TGL Design
window).
If you do a Test window from within TGL, does it show the same size as in
your application?
Would I gain more flexibilty if I learn how to program Win32::GUI directly
rather than use the guiloft ?
Yes, for some things, but not a lot.
TGL will help you build the windows, all else is programming. So you still
need to know how to program Win32::GUI. But you don't have to write boring
code to create the windows, and you don't have to cykle through
guess-run-change a gazillion times when designing your GUI.
Some things aren't implemented in TGL. Some things are implemented in TGL
but not in vanilla Win32::GUI (e.g. numbers-only Textfields) without
strange style numbers added to controls. TGL does that for you in some cases.
