Topic: Resize dialog to match markup content

I have a simple CXTPDialog with a single large CXTPMarkupContext area.

Is there a simple way to resize the dialog to fit the content of the CXTPMarkupContext area?

I have looked at the CXTPMarkupUIElement::GetDesiredSize() and similar methods but they do not return a size until the dialog is fully drawn. I try to resize in the OnInitDialog part of the dialog initialization, but perhaps that is the problem?

I am basically using the CMarkupStatic class from the MarkupSample in ToolkitPro v.15.0.2.

Regards
Ronnie

Could you measure the markup directly, and then size the dialog accordingly? Something like this (error handling stripped for brevity):

CXTPMarkupContext* pContext = XTPMarkupCreateContext(0);

CXTPMarkupUIElement* pElement = pContext->Parse("Your markup here");

CSize sz = XTPMarkupMeasureElement(pElement);

pElement->Release();

Then set dialog size based upon markup dimensions?

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for Smile

I had to lock markup width to match dialog static text width, but after that it works perfectly.

No problem, glad to help.
