Scaling the Option & Exit Buttons

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In the ribbon sample, when the font size is set to extra large, the "Options" and "Exit Sample" buttons (displayed when the application button is clicked) do not get any bigger.  If the font gets too big, those buttons can start to look pretty bad, with the text clipping at the button boundary.  How can I convince those buttons to either honor the font change or allow me to enlarge them?  I've tried SetHeight, SetIconSize, SetRect, etc., but can't make them change size.  Is it possible?

	I still haven't found a resolution to this yet. The main issue is the height of the buttons, and how the bottom of my characters are getting chopped off. I can live with the width being a little tighter than I would prefer, and even the icon not scaling to match the rest of those on the menu. Here's what I see in the ribbon sample and my own app when I set the font size to 20. That font height may seem overly large here, but I have an increasing number of customers with extremely high resolution monitors, and on those this size is necessary to be able to see & read the menus. What's the trick to making these buttons taller?
