Add Control objects in a dialog box using two methods: "dialog editor" vs "by hand"

Hi!

I am trying to fix a tricky problem but after a few hours I have not yet found the solution!

I created a dialog box and I added a combobox object using dialog editor.
You can see the resource file:

// Microsoft Visual C++ generated resource script.
//
#include "resource.h"

After I added a second combobox by hand:

//Header file
CComboBox myCombo;

//Source file
myCombo.Create(CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, CRect(37,146,37+75,146+105), this, 4008+i*100);

The same problem occurs according to others control objet (CStatic class, CEdit class, etc); in conclusion, this is what you see:

Why are 2 combobox objets visually different?
What should I add in my code in order to make graphical appearance of the second combobox equal to the first one?

Thanks!

(If in doubt do not hesitate to ask questions.)
