EF_WIDE_SIZE

This variable sets the boundary size that determines whether an entry field is sized with the standard or wide font measure. An entry field that has a specified width greater than the value of EF_WIDE_SIZE is always sized with the standard font measure. Entry fields that are both non-numeric and not larger than EF_WIDE_SIZE are sized with the wide font measure. See section 5.4 in Book 2, "User Interface Programming" for a description of how entry fields are sized. The default value of EF_WIDE_SIZE is "5". Setting this variable to "0" causes all entry fields to be sized with the standard font measure (exception: see EF_UPPER_WIDE above). Note that setting the value of this variable to a number larger than your largest entry field causes all entry fields to use the wide font measure.
