  void MapDialogRect( LPRECT lpRect ) const;
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <lpRect>    Points to a RECT structure that contains the dialog-box
              coordinates to be converted.
 
  Remarks
 
  Converts the dialog-box units of a rectangle to screen units. Dialog-box
  units are stated in terms of the current dialog base unit derived from
  the average width and height of characters in the font used for
  dialog-box text.
 
  Typically, dialog boxes use the system font, but a different font may be
  specified by using the DS_SETFONT style in the resource-definition file.
  One horizontal unit is one-fourth of the dialog-box base width unit, and
  one vertical unit is one-eighth of the dialog-box base height unit. The
  Windows function GetDialogBaseUnits returns the dialog-box base units in
  pixels.
 
  The MapDialogRect member function replaces the dialog-box units in
  <lpRect> with screen units (pixels), so that the rectangle can be used
  to create a dialog box or position a control within a box.
