Is it possible to vertically size the Group Box Header?

I'm working with a skin given to me by someone else and I'm attempting to "re-size" it for larger fonts, etc. As part of this, I want to make the group box header "taller" so that I can put a large font in there and yet no matter what I do with content and size margins or the source bitmap I can't seem to make it large enough for, say, a 24pt font (or change size at all for that matter). This has two effects, one the text is clipped in the header, and two the header bitmap does not obscure the normal groupbox header text that's being rendered underneath it. I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious, at least I hope so.

Unfortunately, I don't think you're missing anything. I suspect the header height is dictated by the way Windows renders & positions the group box itself within a dialog. I've never been able to get it any taller, either. I think we'll have to wait for a new OS for that to change, though I hope I'm wrong & that Adam will jump in here & confirm that.

Cheers,
