I use QuestionDLG quite a lot and to avoid extreme window widths for long texts I split all text (mainly file and path names) into lines of max 80 characters. This works fine up to Windows 7.

But since I use Windows 8.1 the OS inserts its own linebreaks much earlier (don't know exactly but could be around 50 characters). After reading this:

I would like to continue using QuestionDLG but it seems that I have no control over the width of the window.
Any sugggestions?
