Thanks for responding. I did as you suggested and created a new project/etc
and tried your code. I can now properly size the box, but the image problem
still persists. It still throws an exception on the first 'Shape.Image'
attribute accessed, but it is now caught by AfxCallWndProc(). Also, a new
popup box is now displayed showing "SCODE: -2147467262". This may be
unrelated as it does not show up in my original program even if I swap in
your code segment. I am using Measurement Studio version 6. Any further
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
