Hi I was wondering if anybody could help me with a problem. I am creating a dialog based program and dont know how to make the dialogs the full size of the scren when I run the program. Any help with this would be almost life saving.

Thanks

Open dialog window.
Go to "VIEW, FULL SCREEN".
You can now make the dialog as big as you want by "pulling" the tabs.
Hit escape.
Hit the switch on the left side of the toolbar at the bottom to see what the screen will look like.
Repeat the above to readjust until you are satisfied.

Well,the Paul's answer is not guaranteed for differet screen areas(640*480,800*600,...).For a more generic way:
Open the "OnInitDialog" member function of your dialog box class(add the message hendler if there is no OnInitDialog),add the following code just before returning the function
"ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);"
