SYMPTOMS
========

When I use the WS_MIMIMIZEBOX or WS_MAXIMIZEBOX styles in a dialog box with a
DS_MODALFRAME style, the up/down arrows are offset up and to the right when I
click them with the mouse.

CAUSE
=====

The WS_MINIMIZEBOX and WS_MAXIMIZEBOX styles cannot be used with the
DS_MODALFRAME frame style. (Menus are also incompatible with this frame style.
For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

  Style

RESOLUTION

Use a different frame style, such as WS_BORDER.
