Question: How do you get these crazy radio buttons to work?


Answer: Add the radio buttons down in sequence in the dialog box
editor. Set the group property (properties) on the FIRST button. Do
NOT set group on the other buttons. Put a group box around the group.
Set its group property. Create a member variable for the 1st radio
button, it has the only ID that will appear. You can set its value
AFTER CDialog::OnInitDialog to 0:n-1, or read its value after
GetData();


Question: How do I get the drop-down combo to show up in the
proper size?


Answer: There are TWO sizes to set. The first is the one-line size,

to get the drop down size in the dialog box editor, you need to hit
the drop down arrow, which will give you ANOTHER outline to drag to
size.
